Hello Everyone,

This is a great site/forum & has already helped me out a lot. I appreciate all of the advice this site has already given me.

Following this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm) I’m able to load external .swf’s (which contain video with audio) into an empty movie clip called “content”.

Problem:  
I need to figure out how to unload these .swf’s. The funtions for the buttons are assigned in a frame on the timeline and looks like this:

b1.onRelease = function() {  
if (\_root.section != “welcome.swf”) {  
\_root.section = “welcome.swf”;  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);  
}  
}

Does the unloadMovie action go in the above button funtion or does it go into the “content” movie clip?

Here’s the actioscript for the “contect” mc.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (!loaded && this.\_url != \_root.\_url) {  
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {  
loaded = true;  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“opening”);  
}  
}  
}

I really appreciate all of your help. Thanks.
