I used the following code to load a YouTube video onto a flash website:

```auto

this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 10000);
setProperty(video_mc, _x, 275);
setProperty(video_mc, _y, 150);
this.video_mc.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/wNIlpIwr6yE&hl=en.swf")

```

Worked great, but there is a big problem. The video WON’T GO AWAY! It shows up on every page there after.

Does anyone know how to remove it from the other pages (Actions keyframes)?

I tried putting -

```auto
this.video_mc.unloadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/wNIlpIwr6yE&hl=en.swf");

```

on all the other pages, but not surprisingly it caused a scary error.

Thanks in advance!

Couldn’t you just add:

this.removeMovieClip(“video\_mc”);

You would have to add it to all your pages  
Not sure if that’s what you want to happen

Your solution seemed so clean and perfect, but alas, the YouTube video is still there on every page, mocking me. Any other ideas?
