Hey all,

I have an external .swf load into the mc “container” when the page loads. When the user clicks on a button, I want to delete the mc. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Dan

Have you manually put the mc on there?..or used attachMovie?

Manually, should I use attachMovie instead?

If you use attachMovie, you can use removeMovieClip to delete it.
