[FMX] Newbie and Unload movie

1

Hi,

Pretty basic I should imagine but I’m stumped. I’ve searched the forums but cant seem to be able to implement anything specific to my problem.

Heres my site so far: http://www.charliealpha.co.uk/sites/msp/test/main.swf

How and where and what do I add to make the movies unload before only the movie corresponding to the button clicked loads up and doesn’t overlay?

I’m having trouble with the level and all that :slight_smile:

heres my fla:

any help appreciated.

Load your items to the same clip. When you load a new movie onto a clip that already has a movie on it, the previous movie gets automatically unloaded to make way for the new movie.

Either that or try [AS]targetClipInstanceName.unloadMovie()[/AS]

Ok, maybe I shoulda checked your .fla first.

You are going about the method sorta wrong. It is best and more efficient to create each of your sections in an external .swf file and use loadMovie() to call them in.

This prevents the user having to load anything they won’t view which saves on load time, and it keeps your content seperated and easy to edit, and you would only need one clip in your main movie to load to and you won’t have this overlay issue :wink:
