Hello my forum friends and all of you wonderful visitors !

I have one question, it may sound pretty stupid, but hey... we learn till the very last day, right ?

Ok, here I go...

Inside the timeline of the MAIN.swf movie, I have a holder to load my EXTERN.swf external movie (SWF as well). I gave it an instance name EXTERNclip. Command for that action is:

Code:
loadMovie("EXTERN.swf", EXTERNclip);
If I want to completely shut down that externally loaded SWF from within itself, I usually put a button inside my external movie, I call it self-destruct button, and give it this action:

Code:
on (press) {unloadMovie(EXTERNclip)
}
When I load MAIN.swf and then external EXTERN.swf is loaded into MAIN.swf, as soon as you press self-destruct button, movie unloads itself as it should... but only when saving my file as a Flash 6 version. As soon as I save it as a Flash 7 or 8 version, that doesn't work at all... why ?

I need to save this particular file as a Flash version 8, because I have some video files using On2 VP6 codec and it has to go through Flash 8.

Any clues or any advices, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance !
