Hi

I am ready want help from you. Take a look at [http://www26.brinkster.com/nzsmch/nz/index.htm](http://www26.brinkster.com/nzsmch/nz/index.htm)

The top button is everything fine. (home,photo,AboutCH,contact and other links)

- each button use the code:  
on(press) {  
loadMovieNum(“http://…/home.swf”,1);  
}

* * *

The problem is inside the photo swf!!!

Go and click photo button. It has 6 buttons (lamp,painting,etc) and then click lamp button.

In lamp button code, i wrote:-

on(press) {  
loadmovieNum(“http://…/lamp.swf”,2);  
}

It shown up 6 buttons and lamp swf. I dont want both photo.swf and lamp.swf combine together. i dont want to show photo.swf again! HOW DO I FIX THAT?

And another problem is when i am at lamp swf, I click “circle button” under Other Links button. It does not go to photo.swf, How code should i write??

thanks if you can help me out.

Hi,

I don’t understand your second problem.

To solve the first one add this:

```auto
unloadMovieNum(1);

```

to the button that loads the lamps file (or any other).

Levels load on top of each other and inherit \_level0’s background,  
so you have to unload (or hide) any unwanted swf in a level.

Does this make sense?

Cheers

SHO

SHO,  
you ask me to add another code “unloadMovieNum”

on (press) {  
unloadMovieNum("http://…/photo.swf,1);  
loadMovieNum(“http://…/lamp.swf”,2);  
}

It wont let me click the lamp button. It seem “no button”. Is there any other idea to fix?

Nothing will work, **unloadMovieNum** only takes one parameter, which is the level. It should be:

```auto

  unloadMovieNum(1);

```

Assuming the movie you want to get rid of is in level 1.

</div>

you mean

## on(press) { unloadMovieNum(1); }

## or on(press) { unloadMovieNum(1); loadMovieNum(“http://…/lamp.swf”,2); }

i try both ways…it still does not get rid of level 1.

Hi,

just use the same level all the time and so replace one swf with another and so on.

I’m attaching a zip file with three files that do that.

Cheers
