Am I missing something obvious?

Ok, so I have loaded a movieclip into level 7 of my master.swf file. How can I make it go away? I really, really need to unload it. Am I dumb? It's ok if I am, I don't mind. Thanks,

Meeg

var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();

myMCL.addListener(myListener);

myMCL.loadClip("CD unplug.swf", 7);





I really want "CD unplug.swf" to go away now that I've loaded it. Hmmmmm.

Thanks.

since the movie is loaded if it's not using to much CPU just make it invisible:
_level7.visible = 0;

It's not seeming to work for me (I know...I have that "dumb" problem). Maybe I'm just missing something simple. Here's what I did:

on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();

myMCL.addListener(myListener);

myMCL.loadClip("Essence 3.swf", 4);
_level6.visible = 0;




}



Any thoughts? Thanks again sooooo much for your help. Peace,

I'm confused...
if you want to unload a loaded movie, can't you just unload it?
For example,

myButton_btn.onPress = function (){
_level7.unloadMovie();
}

as a quick PS, the _visible property should have an underscore before it.

myMovieClip._visible = false;

Life is good. Thank you all soooooo much for your help. The world is now my oyster. Peace,

One last thing...
thought I should remind you that, if you want to replace a loaded movie with another loaded movie, you don't have to unload the first one at all.
Simply load the second one into the same level as the first. It will automatically replace the first one, as only one movie can occupy a level at any given time.

I agree... life is good.
