Hello anyone, everyone, someone…

I’ve got 12 buttons in my portfolio that are multiple rollovers…when you hover over a button it changes color and a dynamic image pops up on the page next to it.

I used the Kirupa tutorial on loading dynamic images and it worked great in loading the image, the problem is when I hover OFF the button, the image stays put and won’t unload…leaving me with an overlapping mess of images by the time all 12 buttons have been pressed/viewed.

I’m sure it’s as simple as “unloadMovie” or something, but me being novice to Actionscript I can’t make it work properly.

Here’s the original code that works properly:

on (rollOver) {  
loadMovie(“portfolio1.jpg”, “Web1”);  
}

Now what would the next statement be that would unload(?) the image from the page when I hover OFF the button?

Me again,

jsut to clarify what I have so that I don’t waste time on the obvious, here’s exactly what’s in my first button action:

on (rollOver) {  
loadMovie(“portfolio1.jpg”, “Web1”);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
unloadMovie(“portfolio1.jpg”, “Web1”);

}

And exactly what error shows up when I test the scene:

Scene=PORTFOLIO, Layer=WEB Menu, Frame=1: Line 5: Wrong number of parameters; unloadMovie requires exactly 1.  
unloadMovie(“portfolio1.jpg”, “Web1”);

I have NO IDEA what “exactly 1” means in the error!!!  
So I can’t figure it out for myself any further…

Any suggestions? Am I doing this all wrong?

Thanks

Jay

Try

on (rollOut) {  
unloadMovie(“Web1”);

}

or

on (rollOut) {  
Web1.unloadMovie();

}

unload movie doesn’t care what’s in the movie, it only needs the movie name.

get rid of the jpg argument.
