Ok, what does “unload movie” do exactly

Lets say im making a jukebox …if i put unload movie and then have it load another swf will it have to load again if i decide to go back?

Is it better to just put “stop all sounds” instead of “unload movie”?

if anyone can help i would really appreciate it :slight_smile:

i just dont want my bandwidth to be raped :*(

If I’m understanding you correctly, if you load your swf into the same container movieclip then it will replace one after the other. If you load them into seperate movie containers then it should stay there when you come back to it.

I’m on cable and its hard to tell…does it stay in cache after you load the swf?

What I’m trying to prevent is it downloading from my host everytime someone wants to listen to some audio…if it loads up once for every person (per visit) that is ok

Im sorry if i sound confusing…im a bit tired :frowning:

All the audio is loading into the same layer/level (forgot what its called)…

unload movie vs. stop all sounds

i tried them both…they do the same thing…which one would prevent my host from getting raped?

If thats the case then I would go with stop all sounds, unloading would require you to load the movie back in later when you go back to it. Swf files usually do cache on your comp, but I’m not sure how long they stay in the internet temp folder though.
