how to unload movie clip?
Hi there!
im not an expert but i am working in expert mode as funny enough
it seems easier. Anyhow my situation is that I have a main site swf and need to load like 6 seperate external swfs within to the main swf to specific target areas which are invisible movie clips. I am using the below code and it works fine:
on(release) {
loadMovie("wav1.swf",_root.dropZone);
}
But what am i doing wrong when i am trying to unload the current external wav1.swf.as its not unloading.Basically what is the opposite of the above code that i should be using to unload a movie correctly?
Many thanks for your help!

Hi Chris,
Try this:
Code:
_root.dropZone.unloadMovie();

thank you super my man!
that works great!
only problem is that after it unloads the external swf i would need it to return to the original movie clip and its instance name is
dropZone
how do i do that...
thanks again!

Hi Chris,
What do u mean by return to the main movie.
Does that means that the holder mc should start playin'.
Plz. make it clear,

Hello Sam..yeah sorry my man for not being clearer..
im not familiar with the term "Holder" mc.
But i think we understand perhaps eachother right. Basically what i meant is when you first load the main site swf..there are 6 invisible movieclip areas that function as buttons(so when you click they will load the external swf files into their positions.
So now after i have loaded say the first external flash file..then i want it to unload when clicked upon and then return to its move clip-button state, as it first was before the external swf was loaded into its spot.Did this make any sense?

Hi Chris,
Sorry for not interpreting u r problem properly,but,if possible, can u upload u r .fla file.
or if not, can u tell me,what u've written on invisible movieClips to load external .swf's & to unload as well.
Besides, holder mc is u r invisible movie clip.
Waiting...

another interesting question and problem ahead for me is im wondering what would be a good way to code these.Because id like it to work so that when say your watching movie 4..then you want to listen to movie 1.Or any other of the movies.I would like it to stop playing the current exernal swf, unload it and start playing the next one.It just gets abit tricky as im trying to think if there is some kind of code that would work so that if user:
clicks on anymove-it would stop current sound, unload current swf, load the so called "invisible clip" back and then load another any of the other external swfs.If you get me
-
basically if you think of the file logically how it should work
Sam like then you can probably see some of the small problems that could arise.6 external swfs with music playing at the same time.Also each external swf along with the music will be a jpg with afew lines of text info about the album in question.I only want one loaded swf at a time, not all 6.
But because you dont know which one the user will click and if say you currently have movie 1 going playing external swf i dont want to have to code:
on press
stop all sounds
unload movie 2
unload movie 3
unload movie 4
unload movie 5
unload movie 6
Load next movie...so on..
must be a better way.Sorry but as you see im not good at coding
thanks Sam for your help!

Hi Chris,

It'll take me some time to solve it.
Thanx,

thanks again very much Sam.Very nice of you to take the time.
No rush at all.I dont think its a very complex thing really.Maybe for me though its quite a challenge as i do very little actionscript.Im more a visual type.
For some reason everytime you post here I am not getting email notification, or in some cases afew days ago i was from others but a day late.Safest is to send me email to
chris.champagne@vistakuva.fi
many thanks Sam!
