Trying to finish mother's day gift- Having issues- PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello.
I worked for hours on this movie trying to figure it all out. After I would get pretty far into making the movie...it would say that my disk was almost full. So then I saved the project to my external hard drive, and then after it saved when I tried to add a new photo-it looked like it was loading it- then the photo just dissappeared from the timeline. It pretty much won't let me alter the project at all.
I am very new to the Mac, and to the Imovie program. I figured out the program for the most part, but I have no idea how to save it correctly so it does not become corrupt. I have redone the movie 3 or 4 times, but as soon as the computer's capacity gets close to being full, I have to save it to the external drive, and once I do that all kinds of problems arise.
Can someone please tell me how to do this correctly...and in as simple of terms as possible
I am trying to have this done by Sunday for Mother's Day...and I still have hours of work to do!!!
THANK YOU!!

And agreed that while you were still working on
the project and  iDVD may be looking for
it, it is a good idea to keep it on your start-up
drive.
But that's not what you said, Klaus1.
I agree that as we work in iDVD the iMovie project shouldn't be moved. But that wasn't jledney's situation. He/she simply wanted to move the project to an external drive because the main drive was filling up. There is no reason that can't be done, assuming the drive has the correct format.
A fair read of your comments is that we must begin and finish creating a DVD of the iMovie project before we can move an iMovie project to an external drive, and that's not correct. Apparently that's not what you intended to say.
