# 1)I’ve created a button to load a movie on click

# but1.onPress = function() { \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1); loadMovie(“movie1.swf”, “container”); container.\_x = 100; container.\_y = 100; };

but i would like to have an “x” in the corner of the loaded movie to “unload” the movie…where/what code would i need?

2)Also the root movie that the seperate movies are being loaded into is 800x600 and i would like, on HTML button click that the flash would load in a non-resizable 800x600 window. Hope you gurus can help, TIA

1)…  
\_root.container.createEmptyMovieClip(“remove”,1);  
\_root.container.remove.lineStyle(2,0xff0000,100);  
\_root.container.remove.beginFill(0x00ff00,100);  
\_root.container.remove.moveTo(0,0);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(20,0);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(20,20);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(0,20);  
\_root.container.remove.endFill();  
\_root.container.remove.moveTo(5,5);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(15,15);  
\_root.container.remove.moveTo(15,5);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(5,15);  
\_root.container.remove.onRelease = function (){  
removeMovieClip(\_root.container);  
};

1. there’s a tutorial here on kirupa that shows you how to open up a window like that. if that doesn’t work try [www.flashkit.com](http://www.flashkit.com).

Sinf…I tried that code, and it loaded the SWF and everything, but it didn’t create any lines or anything…

but1.onPress = function() {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“[http://www10.brinkster.com/jubbaorf/dragonFly.swf](http://www10.brinkster.com/jubbaorf/dragonFly.swf)”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 100;  
container.\_y = 100;  
\_root.container.createEmptyMovieClip(“remove”,1);  
\_root.container.remove.lineStyle(2,0xff0000,100);  
\_root.container.remove.beginFill(0x00ff00,100);  
\_root.container.remove.moveTo(0,0);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(20,0);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(20,20);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(0,20);  
\_root.container.remove.endFill();  
\_root.container.remove.moveTo(5,5);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(15,15);  
\_root.container.remove.moveTo(15,5);  
\_root.container.remove.lineTo(5,15);  
\_root.container.remove.onRelease = function (){  
removeMovieClip(\_root.container);  
};  
}

am I missing something? I’m just trying to figure out this new MX stuff…

that’s weird…it worked by itself. try this:

but1.onPress = function() {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“[http://www10.brinkster.com/jubbaorf/dragonFly.swf](http://www10.brinkster.com/jubbaorf/dragonFly.swf)”);  
\_root.container.\_x = 100;  
\_root.container.\_y = 100;  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“remove”,2);  
\_root.remove.\_x = 100;  
\_root.remove.\_y = 100;  
\_root.remove.lineStyle(2,0xff0000,100);  
\_root.remove.beginFill(0x00ff00,100);  
\_root.remove.moveTo(0,0);  
\_root.remove.lineTo(20,0);  
\_root.remove.lineTo(20,20);  
\_root.remove.lineTo(0,20);  
\_root.remove.endFill();  
\_root.remove.moveTo(5,5);  
\_root.remove.lineTo(15,15);  
\_root.remove.moveTo(15,5);  
\_root.remove.lineTo(5,15);  
\_root.remove.onRelease = function (){  
removeMovieClip(\_root.container);  
this.removeMovieClip();  
};  
}

i tried it on my box and it worked (i also dynamically created the button ‘but1’.).

basically i took the ‘remove’ clip out of the ‘container’ clip. sometimes with loaded movies you can’t apply actions to the loaded clip until it’s loaded.

when you give a movie clip an ‘onRelease’ event it is treated like a button. play around with it a little (the button events on mc’s) and you will be very please with this. it’s the best thing since the Math object!
