If you"ve ever come up against that director bug where all your scripts get confused about what type of script they are (ie. you get "handler not found" errors all over the place, and you can"t create new instances from your parent scripts) the usual solution is to change the scriptType of the offending scripts to something arbitrary, save and compact the movie, then change the scriptTypes back to what it should be and save the movie all over again.
