im using addChild to load a movieclip after a button click. It loads to the middle of the movie clip where there's a stop action and a close button, whick jumps to the next frame to play out the movie clip, but then it just starts over.

View 1 RepliesIn a CS3/As3 project I have xml files with html content loaded in a texfiled inside a mc. In some cases I have swf files embedded with img tag in the xml. The problem is that when a swf is loaded this way It keeps 'living', playing with sounds in the background when other xml files and swf are loaded in the texfiled. Then, every time it is loaded, a new instance of the swf is created and played.I have found out you can refer to the loader object with getImageReference method giving an id to img tag and, for example, adding an Event.COMPLETE listener to the loader. But I don't know how to access to the loaded swf to unload it or at least stop it (mc_name.texfiled_name.swf_id doesn't seem to work in AS3)Does anybody know if it is possible?

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {
loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1);

I am loading external swf's into a main load.swf, using a Moviecliploader object. What I basically want to do is that, after an external movie, say home.swf, loads another external swf, say about.swf, home.swf should be unloaded.
home.swf is loading about.swf into the _root.mc_holder, which is placed inside load.swf. I want all external files to be placed within this holder. Now this is working with some files, but not with others. My standard code within all files is this:
//code within home.swf to load about.swf
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();var ldrlistener = new Object();loader.addListener(ldrlistener);ldrlistener.onLoadStart =

I have a button ( 3 buttons ) and each button is assigned to Load a movie. When you click one of the buttons, the LoadMovie on Level 1 is good. Now here is my problem, how will I unload the current movie before Loading the next one. I want to UNLOAD the CURRENT MOVIE first before loading another MOVIE.

View 6 Repliesim having troubles unloading a swf file that is 2 levels above my main movie.Basically I have a main movie and I have actionscript on the timeline which corresponds to a button which loads a swf (eg my web portfolio work):
digitalbut.onRelease = function() {
disableBtns();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
[code]...
This all works....Then in this swf I have another button which again loads another swf on top to show a particular piece of work and the code on the timeline to correspond to the button is:
Dior_hit.onRelease = function() {
createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
loadMovie("Digital/Dior/Dior.swf","container");
[code]...
This works also....but I come into problems when I want to create a button in this third swf file which then closes this Dior.swf so you are left with the bottom two still showing. I already have a close button on the Digital.swf which works a charm to get you back to the main movie and the code for this is:
on (release) {
_root.container.unloadMovie()
unloadMovieNum(2);

how I can close this third swf to still show the two below?? I have tried so many options but none seem to work!

I have a main SWF that loads in an external SWF(2) which has a button that when clicked loads in another external SWF(3). (we'll call them SWF 2 and 3) what I was finding was when I clicked the button on the external SWF (2), when SWF (3) loaded in the contents of the main SWF and SWF (2) were still visible . However I managed to remove the contents of SWF(2) by doing unload movie easily as they run on the same timeline...the problem is I don't know how to unload movie on the main SWF when SWF(3) is being fired because it doesn't run on the same timeline as the main SWF. Surely it is somehow accessible since it is visible in the background ...even if they aren't on the same timeline? how would i get the movie to unload in the main SWF?

I have an index.swf that loads the following movies.
loadMovieNum("home.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum("home_2.swf", 53);
loadMovieNum("help.swf", 50);
loadMovieNum("glossary.swf", 26);
loadMovieNum("Resources.swf", 27);
Is there a way to unload the home_2.swf from the index page when a button is clicked on the home.swf?
Home_2.swf is sort of a splash animation that plays over the navigation panel and then sits on the side so when any of the nav buttons are clicked on in level 4 .swf I want the level 53 .swf to unload.
I don't dev in Flash too much anymore, and I'm not up on AS3. Therefore, I developed this little project in AS2 (CS5.5) and seems that I've opened a can of worms.
I've got a launcher movie on _level1 that loads movies onto _level2 based on the button that is clicked. That all works well and good, but I can't figure out how to unload the movie when it finishes playing, so as to return to the menu.
Some of the FLVs that are being loaded were too big to add to a timeline. So I had to use FLVPlayback to load the FLVs into my level 2 movie. I don't know how to tell FLVPlayback to close its SWF when playback has finished.
can a loaded movie unload itself, ive tried but nothing positive this is the thing, i have a sectiion tha i loaded, and i want a close button in that loaded movie, not in the actual main movie
