Look into the concept of using the "@" operator for relative path names. This will get
You off the hook.
to go down a level
on mouseUp me
go movie "@/aFolder/secondMovie"
end mouseUp
to go back up again
on mouseUp me
go movie "@//firstMovie"
end mouseUp
Notice the // that backs up one level
This method also gets rid of the platform problem You can use either "/" or "\" or ":"
as folder separator.
More is to be found in the help system if You search on "@".
