#12834 new defect
DIRECTOR: Mylk (Windows) [D4] is not completable
| Reported by: | Thunderforge | Owned by: | |

| Priority: | normal | Component: | Engine: Director |

Description (last modified by )
In the Windows version of Mylk (available on Internet Archive; the game was originally distributed as freeware), you can get trapped pretty early on
- After the game starts up, click the gray door
- Click again to enter the viewer room
- Click the back arrow
Nothing happens. The expected behavior is that the user returns to the previous screen.
Every time the button is pressed, scummvm.log receives this event:
[2021-08-23 12:50:07] WARNING: Movie MYLK does not exist!
Versions
- ScummVM x64 2021-08-23 (g8812574dc8)

The movie 'MYLK' is MYLK.exe. ScummVM currently doesn't handle loading a .exe file when the game is already running.

Noted, what's needed:
- detect the MYLK.exe as a valid movie name
- be able to load projector files when switching movies.

Tested now with latest master, the game is playable, but not completable.
I can play until this point, then when the author's picture appears, there's no way to continue.
On the console the following message is shown:
WARNING: Tried to thaw when there's no frozen play state, ignoring!

Windows Mylk is a Director 4 game, we do not expect it to run well yet.
