no problem. =)

by the way, you could also use [MovieClip.removeMovieClip or [url=http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action\_scripts/actionscript\_dictionary/actionscript\_dictionary578.html]MovieClip.unloadMovie](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary564.html). 😉

Thanks Kax!  
You are being a great help to solve this last part of my site!  
Can you tell me also how is possible to control the X,Y coordinates of the movie to be loaded! I’ve done what you’ve said but the movie shows up in the wrong spot!
