There is no need to use "the moviePath" anymore; it is outdated. Use the character
"@" where you would normally use "the
moviePath". It references the current movie path, but it also removes the need to
change the path delimiter for each OS. (I.E. "/"
for Win and ":" for Mac). The "@" allows you to use "/", "\" or ":" for any platform
and it uses it correctly.

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> QuickTime path names on Mac
You have to explicitly tell director where the quicktime movies are using
'the moviepath' as a starting point. Keeep in mind that the way paths are
shown on the mac are different than on the pc (ie on the mac it's
'HardDrive:film:mymovie.mov' whereas on the pc it would be
'D:\film\mymovie.mov'.
What I ususually do is something akin to
tChar = the last char of the moviepath
tPath = the moviepath & "film" & tChar &" whateveryourmovienameis.mov"
