does unloadMovie unload mc's that are done loading?

[marco_polo7000]

I am loading a number of swf's into empty movie clips. They are quite large. If the user wants to abort this Flash Movie (playing within a browser) I want to clean up by unloading all the movies. Will my unload function (below) kill all movie clips even if they have not completely loaded?

Thanks in advance!

var iPageStart = 0;
for(var i = _root.iPageStart; i < n; i++) {
mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("movie" + i, i);
mc._x = 0;
mc._y = 102;
mc.loadMovie("oronite-scrollText-" + i + ".swf");
}
//fired from an exit button
function unloadAll(){
iPageStart = 0;
for(var i = _root.iPageStart; i < n; i++) {
_root["movie"+i].unloadMovie();
}
return true;
}

If you attach all the movies to a single container movie, then you can unload the container movie only, and all the stuff attached to it will unload, regardless of whether it is finished loading. This also simplifies your unload code.

code:

---

var iPageStart = 0;

cont_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('cont_mc', 1);



for(var i = _root.iPageStart; i < n; i++) {

mc = cont_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("movie" + i, i);

mc._x = 0;

mc._y = 102;

mc.loadMovie("oronite-scrollText-" + i + ".swf");

}





//fired from an exit button

function unloadAll(){

iPageStart = 0;

_root.cont_mc.unloadMovie();

return true;

}

Ah, I'll try that out. Thanks!
