So the vtr has midi connections? Then I'd look to the SequenceXtra -- I
think that can send midi machine control from smpte, could be wrong
though. But it does support system exclusive messages. Then, if it does

I figured it out, incase anyone ever wants to do this, and I don't know why
I had such a brain fart.
The images are linked to the ldms in an external cast. so all the
importFilInto deals with the external cast.
Works Like butter.
Still could use pointers for the smpte. Is the datatron pretty sim
it will definitely be using midi.

Try the approach in the second example. Import the file in the main movie then pass

I'm coming in late on this thing - but you're trying to link a member in a
LDM on the fly? Are all the LDM in the same path? Are the linked members?
Can you put teh path in a global and each LDM links a member via
member.filename=global & "membername"?

Does importFileInto not work from an LDM?
If that's the case then this might work:
on importFile, strfileName
mbrTemp = new(#bitmap)
importFileInto mbrTemp, strFileName
imgMedia = mbrTemp.media
tell sprite(intLinkedMovieSpriteNum)
member("toImportinto", "internal").media = imgMedia
