If you have "FileXtra" installed, all you need is this command:
put DirectoryToList(the moviePath)
-- ["casts\", "2Land.dir", "2People.dir", "2Sport.dir", "2Town.dir",
"English\", "2Main.dir"]
If you have to use fileIo, then what you need to do is something like this
(Warning: e-mail lingo follows. Totally untested, approach with care)
newDirectoryList = []
the itemdelimiter = ":"
repeat with myFileName in DirectoryList
i = myFileName.items.count
myFileName = myFileName.item[i]
newDirectoryList.add(myFileName)
end repeat
