Help with loading/unloading .swf

[dex26]

Ok, here is what i got. I have it working somewhat. I have one scene that plays. 4 buttons are on screen, when i click a button i want it to load a .swf file and it does but the old scene is still on screen. So it's basically playing 2 scenes at once and i don't want it to. I want it to unload the old scene and play the new scene.

Here is my code.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

stop();

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
about_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page2content);
function page2content(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("page2.swf");
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
};
myLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadcontent);
function unloadcontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    removeChild(myLoader);
    
    about_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
    
}

hi,

You can use unload().

hi,

You can use unload().

Thanks, yeah i've tried that. Tried unload(); and UnloadAndStop();

Both of them bring me the same result. I've got it working halfway. It loads the other swfs onto the stage and will unload once i click on it again but the 1st swf isn't unloading like i want i to. I want the 1st swf to unload once i click on the button.

So the question is... how do i get the 1st swf to unload, get it off the stage? Why is not unloading?

This is what i got so far

code:

---

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

stop();

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();

about_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page2content);

function page2content(myevent:MouseEvent):void {   

 var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("page2.swf");   

 myLoader.load(myURL);

 addChild(myLoader);

 };

 

 myLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadcontent);

 function unloadcontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {   

 removeChild(myLoader); 

 myLoader.unloadAndStop();





 //gotoAndPlay(1); 

 }

Hi,

if you want to remove completely the movieClip from memory, you need to remove all eventListeners also.

this is the cleanest version i think you can get from it:
