I love the ini file :)

I use it in a similar way. This way you can have only one "universal"
projector (per platform), and have it launch whatever movie you want.
There's a technote somewhere about using the ini for stub projectors.
But I don't think you need to declare the global - all the variables in
the ini are automatically global.

There are other things you can do there, such as declare the searchPaths
(using the applicationPath rather then the movie path), set up the
soundKeepDevice, etc., but you can't do things like "go frame", because
the on startUp event happens before the movie launches.
