I’m loading movies with loadMovie, and then attempting to unload them with a separate bit of action script in the movie itself, like unloadMovie(this). So the load and unload code are in separate swf’s. This appears to be giving me problems and I wondered if they need to be in the same bit of script for the unload to function properly?
