## vita | web | design | illustration

“main” here

* * *

I try to have external .swf on this “main” part of my flash design automatically using load actionscript.  
I have 3 different sets of actionscripts for load/unload.  
But, the problem is when I click vita or other menu on the top after loading “main” external .swf, they are overlapped.  
How can I unload the external .swf from the automatically loaded .swf?  
(As I know, there are mostly buttons to click on loading external .swf. But for my design, I want it loads automatically.)  
I work on Flash 8 and use actionscript 2.0.

Thanks in advance for suggestions. Please let me know if my description/question is not clear to answer.
