hiding levels

Hi! I wish to have many buttons which will load different movies into different levels. As soon as one movie loads in a level, I wish to have the other levels, if visible, to hide. How do I hide the initial level immediately so that the new movie shows. Thanks a lot in advance.

pun on each level tat you want to hide a keyframe with a stop() action attached. Label this keyframe "empty". In this frame not object exist on the stage (keyframe on each layer and delete all graphics).

then, on the movie you load, put on first keyframe (or where you want hidde level 0) the action:
_level0.gotoAndStop("empty").

Thanks PGpaul for the trouble that you have taken. But, my problem is a bit different. How do I know that which level is visible if I have multiple levels, and according to that make that one invisible, when another level loads? If I know the level that is visible, then your method is perfect. Thank you again,

Manny ways to do this...
For example, set a variable on each movie,
isVisible = 1 if the movie is vizible and
isVisible = 0 if is not.

Then make a loop (for i=1; i < moviesNo; i++){ if (eval("_level" + i + ".isVisible")) gotoAndStop("hidden")}
and after that tell to the movie you want visible to play from the somme keyframe.

The problem is different if you can't edit the loaded movie.
In this case you should load the each movie in an empty MC,
let say "container_i". Then set "container_" + i + "_visible" = 0.

Thanks for the trouble that you have taken. I think I got the answer to my question. I indeed am grateful.
