Hi,

To jump to a movie in a subfolder called 'movies', you can use:
go to movie the moviePath & "movies\nameofMovie"

You can also use use the @ operator followed by the path structure with / \ or:
Search the @ pathname operator under the help file for examples but for now, 
here
are some:
Example 1: These are equivalent expressions that specify the file linkedFile, in
the subfolder bigFolder, which is in the current movie?s folder:
@:bigFolder:linkedFile
@\bigFolder\linkedFile
@/bigFolder/linkedFile

Example 2: These are equivalent expressions that specify the file linkedFile,
which is in the folder otherFolder. The otherFolder folder is in the folder one
level up from the current movie?s folder.
@::otherFolder:linkedFile
@\\otherFolder\linkedFile
@//otherFolder/linkedFile

So, you may use:
go to movie the moviePath & "@\\nameofMovie"
to go up a folder level and find movie 'nameofMovie'.
