new to forums 🙂 and thank you kiruapa and others for this forums

my question is to disable some buttons and clear or delete loaded swf

i attached this code to the buttons

on (release) {  
//content: is an empty movie  
content.loadMovie(“page2.swf”);  
//mybutton: is the instance name of the button  
mybutton1.enabled=false;  
mybutton2.enabled=false;  
}

the code works fine, the loaded swf has close button, when i click close button it playe the movie lets say the movie goes from 100 to 0 as alpha. and the buutons anabled again.

on (release) {  
play();  
\_root.mybutton1.enabled=enabled;  
\_root.mybutton2.enabled=enabled;  
}

- is the loaded movie still there, if so, how to remove it.
- if i have many buttons, how to shorten the code and edit it easily.

thanks for your patience

yeah i is a variable.  
for(i=1; i\<=btnCount; i++) means i starts 1 and adding 1 to until btnCount.
