Unload all movies when going to new frame

[fantasygeek317]

I have a scene with buttons that call upon outside movies to be loaded. But when I click a button to go to a new frame, the outside movies on still being seen on top. Right now my button Action is:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(16);
}


What should it say to unload all movies then go the 16?

How are you loading the movies? What version of actionscript?

Sorry, Flash CS3, with As2.

Are you using loadMovie to load your SWF files? If so, you should be able to use unloadMovie to drop them.

Yes, i am using load movie, but there can be as many 60 swf playing at once. Is there a code to unload ALL movies?

[samac1068]

Well the easiest way to do that would be to load all of your MC into a single container, and when you are done, just simply unload the container, that will take care of all of them.

But if not, then you have to run a loop to get them all.

for(var n in root) { unloadMovie(root[n]); }

(Mind you this is just an example)
