Hi, I have a movie that loads external movies, into empty movieclips, using a movieclippreloader in different frames of the main movie.

My question is: Is it recommended to unload the movies previously loaded once the user changes to a new section/frame/loaded movie?

If so, any advice on how to make a smooth transition between these two movies (the one that will be unloaded and the one to load)?

Thanks a lot for your help.
