I’m loading a movie in externally. The external movie has a button to unload itself from the main movie. It loads into \_root.calContainer. The button is called xButton. This is the script that’s not working:

\_this.xButton.onRelease = function() {  
\_global.calContainer.unloadMovie;  
}

I’ve also tried. \_root.calContainer to no avail.
