This should be really simple, but for some reason I cannot get it.

On a particular frame I have the action

```php
loadMovie("swfs/home_text.swf", 1);

```

I want to add an action on a navigation button to unload that movie from main movie.

I tried unloadMovie();, but no luck. Can anyone help me with such a simple task?

thanks
