could someone plzzz help me out??

thnx in advance !! 🙂

hi there agian,

the code that i got from your past thread worked great…

on (release) {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 0);  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“services.swf”);  
\_root.container.\_x = 0;  
\_root.container.\_y = 154;  
}

now how do you make that target that loads the .swf to disapear basically…  
in other words unload movie…so that it goes away when i press another button for example!!

i would appreciate any advice !! :thumb:

thnx in advance !! 🙂

Apply a script like this to your button.

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.container.removeMovieClip();
}

```

Hi there again… just another quick question!!

i have a main swf and in that swf i have two buttons, button 1 and button 2. now when i click on button 1 it loads an external movie, no problem up to this point.  
now within that external movie that loaded i have the infinite menu, the infinite menu contains a arsenal of buttons. now i want thos buttons when pressed to be able to load small external movies, this was easy with the code u gave me…

on (release) {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 0);  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“services.swf”);  
\_root.container.\_x = 0;  
\_root.container.\_y = 154;  
}

no problem up to this point. now if we go back to the main swf button 2, i want this button when pressed to close the small external movies of the inifinite menu buttons.

is this possible? if so how?

i tried to unload movie and even what u suggested removing movieclip…

on (release) {  
\_root.container.removeMovieClip();  
}

but i think the problem is getting button 2 to recognise the small external movies of the buttons within the inifinite menu.

any help would really be appreciated… :thumb:

thnx in advance !! 🙂

Same method, just assign different instance names to the movieclips that holds the other external movies.

I only use one method, I use createMovieClip(); for my loaded movies and removeMovieClip(); to unload them.
