Thanks, but it's a bit more complicated than that, I guess... I can´t
predict which cast members will go into each movie because they are chosen
randomly (like characters and scenarios in a game), so I think it isn't
possible to break the large cast into smaller ones.
And what I mean by generating a new movie is by using the lingo commands to
generate and save a new movie, that would have inside just the cast members
that are needed. But I think that a shockwave can't use the 'save' command
and generate movies this way. Oh boy, I'd love to be wrong...
