hey folks,

I know this must be easy but I’m chokin. Help please?

Check out [http://www.workrepublic.com/hughes/flashtest.htm](http://www.workrepublic.com/hughes/flashtest.htm)

That first photo is just part of the entrance page on the main movie. Those thumbnails below will load new photos in the viewer.

How do I unload that first black and white photo when people click on the buttons…I dont want all subsequent new images loading over the top of that black and white image because, as you can see, it shows and looks ugly.

I just want to unload that image whenever someone clicks on ANY of the thumbnails…

Thanks all…

kellys

um…you could just set the \_visible property of the clip to false…that will hide it… or you could try removeMovieClip()… 🙂
