How do I make a button that doesn’t load the target mc, if that mc is already loaded.

Here is the code I used:

on(press){  
if(!bLoadCommandIssued){  
bLoadCommandIssued = true;  
loadMovie(“filename.swf”, “1”);  
}  
}

It doesn’t load the mc again but it won’t unload the movie in level\_1?

you want to unload the movie if the movie is already loaded?  
them add one line to the script:  
on(press){  
if(!bLoadCommandIssued){  
bLoadCommandIssued = true;  
loadMovie(“filename.swf”, “1”);  
} else {  
unloadMovie(“filename.swf”);  
}  
}

No, here is what I want to do:

on Release, button\_1 loads mymovie.swf. If button\_1 is pressed again, mymovie.swf won’t be loaded again.

Then, if button\_2 is pressed, mymovie2.swf is loaded in place of mymovie.swf.
