ActionScript 2.0 :: Unload A Movieclip From Flash MX File
May 13, 2003
I've tried to unload a movieclip from my flash MX File. I've tried on this way..that is unloadMovie[Num](level/"target") in this method I've given the target path of the movie clip. But when the browser page refreshing that again displays. How can we unload a movie that never comes even if browser refreshing the page.
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
Does anyone know how to unload a XML file in Flash? I'm creating a Flash gallery based on one at URL... the one that uses XML. The problem is I need to show several galleries and each gallery has its own XML file with an image list. It seems that I can't make Flash to unload XML or overwrite the new XML onto the one already loaded!
I can load the image by pressing the green button (see attached file). However, How do I UNLOAD the same image by clicking onto the image, rather than adding another button on my main flash file. This means that as soon as the image is loaded, the user can click on the same image to unload it.
i have a question. let say i have file1.swf , file2.swf, and file3.swf, how can i link this 3 files together,let say suppose file1.swf is the main content file, but as i load file2.swf, i want the file1.swf get replaced by file2.swf. How could i unload file1.swf at that time, so that my file2.swf will become the main content file?and again, when my current position at file2.swf, and i want it get replaced by file3.swf by clink on a button. so that the i can unload the file2.swf and let the file3.swf become the main content file.
I am making a file that loads an swf on(release) of a movieclip. I can get it to load into frame 2 and have created a button to return to frame 1. But when you go back to frame 1 the swf is still there. How can I get it to unload when it goes back to frame 1?[code]
I have a flash nav bar with sub nav. the film button(main nav bar) has 4 sub buttons: tv, commercials, film and imbd. When you click on the sub button commercials, it takes you to the main timeline where I have a loader (in a movie clip _1benz(that loads a benz.jpg in a loader called benzLdr. When you click a button on the sub nav in this group, to leave the frame, the loader unloads. But when you click on the main navigation to leave this frame(which is on the main timeline) the loader remains on the stage.what would be the correct actionscript to remove the loader from the main nav when it moves to other frames on the main timeline? I have tried....
Do I need to put the loader on the first frame and then make it visible on the frame I want to show it? If I do that will it unload on all other frames?Nothing is working! What am i doing wrong?
I made a movieclip that is supposed to unload when a character (called 'char' in the code) hit it. That works fine. But I also want to unload another movie at the same time. The other movieclip is called 'square' and is already on the stage. But that doesn't work.Do I have to put _mc behind the name, or something like that?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (_root.char.hitTest(this)) {
how do i unload everything that i put into a movieclip?
[edit]_root.mvc.unloadMovieNum(1);[/edit] works good but only removes attached movieclips not .swf's that i loaded into it. eventhough i told the .swf's depth to be 1.
Work bought this menu and asked me to edit it even though i'm no AS2 expert just so basic knowledge, I've come pretty far so far but now i ran into a problem (probably the final one)...The menu uses XML to load in the menu, so all the options are dynamical.If you click a button it loads a menu into the stage, but if i click an other it overlapse the old one...i need to unload all the other movies on the stage, how do I do this? This is what I got for onRelease functions:
I want to know how to load and unload a movieclip.As for example i have a map of uk in my swf and when any body click on map(say london).the present map should fade away and new bigger map of the london should be loaded which is on another swf and must get first (orginal map) when he click back button.
how to load/unload MC's on my MC container? I have a menu with a lot of buttons and each one loading on the stage (inside a MC container) a movieclip that it's on the library.
Plus 1: the old movieclip is totally replaced by the new movieclip.
Plus 2: I think that change the visibility not is a good option cuz the old movieclip can still playing, right?
I know that load and unload SWF's can be more simple (I already use this) but I just wanted to try something different (do not work with a lot of SFW's on my project)

I was wondering what are the codes for unloading the swf file after I hit the return button key? I tried removeChild(); but still exits in the menu page after i hit the return button key.
I have a mp3 player in my site and i have 4 difrent albums in 4 difrent XML files..how to unload-clear XML.When i stop sound and try to load new XML it still play songs from previous XML file
now the movieclip "photo" consist on another movieclip that does the actual picture display/loading with some AS> photoHolder < loads the actual picture,so i thought ok,logically its
_root.photo.photoHolder.removeMovieClip(); maybe even _root["photo" + photoNum].photoHolder.removeMovieClip(); or _root.photo.removeMovieClip(); etc
i tried numerous other structures but i just can't get it to work, for some reasons i just can't unload the movieclip that shows the picture.
I don't know AS2 well, prefering 3.0, however the project should be in 2.0. So, I have 2 movieclips, one is parent, another - loaded through LoadMovie("name.swf", _root);I need to unload child after its played and stoped. How can I do it in most proper way?
I have have applied the progress bar from the componets panel in Flash CS3 using AS2 and I have been able to make it function: however, I have not been successful in getting the progress bar to unload once my file loads. I have tried a couple of things like using an if statement and the unLoadMovieClip but I seem to be wording the code wrong because neither have worked at all, they even have cancelled out all the other code. Here is my code:[code].......................
I loaded an external SWF file, now I need to understand how to unload the external SWF file. Is it possible to add the code to the last frame of the external SWFs internal timeline, so when it exits the last frame, it unloads itself.The script to load the SWF is below. Can I add the unload code to the last frame of timeline of the SWF?[code]
I create a .swf file and couldt seem to find actionscript code to exit/unload the file. I also cant find code to automatically load a file as a full screen. I have used the code below but it seems to only works in projector or .exe files but not in the .swf file.
Exit/Unload:this.btnExit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Exit); function Exit(event:MouseEvent):void{ fscommand("quit"); }
I have external swf files,i am loading these swf files in my main swf file,when i am unloading the external swf file ,sound in that swf file didn't unloaded it will be continued in the swf file also.how can i unload that sound while unloading the swf file.
On my site i have mp3 player whit 4 albums(playlits) in 4 XML files. I play firs playlist and everthing is ok,but when i go to next playils player stil play first play list ...is there a possibility to clear all xml files in memory before i play next playlist
I have a loaderIt loads xml files, which are like galleries (each has many image paths inside)I loop over the xml nodes to get all the image pathsI create a new loader for each image (called imageLoader), and dump each one within a movieclip which is on the stage (called _storage)I need to switch between galleries so I need to unload the content of one xml file, then load a different one Does that make sense? My problem is this - currently I am simply removing _storage then creating it and loading into it again when I want to switch galleries. It works, visually. The galleries switch...but I don't think the images are actually being removed.[code]....
