Hi, people. Sorry about my english 😉

Well, a “simple” question: how to load/unload MC’s on my MC container? I have a menu with a lot of buttons and each one loading on the stage (inside a MC container) a movieclip that it’s on the library.

**Plus 1** : the old movieclip is totally replaced by the new movieclip.

**Plus 2** : I think that change the visibility not is a good option cuz the old movieclip can still playing, right?

I know that load and unload SWF’s can be more simple (I already use this) but I just wanted to try something different (do not work with a lot of SFW’s on my project)

And don’t losing time: how useful can be?

Thanks a lot for the attention 😉
