Go to markers in variable movies

Question

I have this movie behavior at the beggining of movies A, B and C.
global n2f
on StartMovie
  member("content").text =""
  updateStage
  n2f=[:]
  n2f[#marker1]="cast member name1"
  n2f[#marker2]="cast member name2"
  n2f[#marker3]="cast member name3"
  n2f[#marker4]="cast member name4"
end
From a MIAW (that can be called from any of movies A,B, C) I am trying to go to a marker that can be in any of movies A, B and C,  depending on what cast member the user selects in the MIAW (these cast members are located once in frames on movies A,B or C.
Ive put this movie bahavior in movies A, B and C, but it works only when the marker is in the movie opened in the background (the one that called the MIAW)
global newWindow, docSelect, listMember, n2f
on mouseUp me
  if listMember.Count>0 then
    if listMember[docSelect]<>empty then
      tell the stage       
        put listMember[docSelect] & "---"
        --put n2f
        myFrame=n2f.getOne(listMember[docSelect])
        if n2f.findPos(myFrame)>0 then
          myFrame=string(myFrame).char[1..20]
          --put listMember[docSelect]
          --put myFrame
          go to myFrame
        end if
      end tell
      window("MIAW").forget()
    end if
  end if
end
Any ideas of how to make it work if the marker is in any of the other 2 movies?
By the way, i have the cast members located in external casts, each with the name of the corresponding movie. For example movie A.dir has the A.cst cast.

Hi Jc,
If you have a system to work out the marker to go to and that is stored in the variable myFrame. You know have to work out a system to determine the movie name to jump to. Maybe that will be stored in a variable called myMovie.
Once you have that, all you need to do is, replace
  go to myFrame
with
  go to myFrame of movie myMovie
