Hello

In my flash movie I have used loadmovie to load and external swf into an empty movie clip. However I would like to make a button that when pressed gets rid of the movie that was loaded so that you are left with an empty movie clip again. Could anyone please help me solve this problem?

Thank You

Hehe, no problem 🙂

Just to be more specific…

targetClip.unloadMovie() or unloadMovie(“targetClip”) both work (I personally prefer method 1, but they both work fine)
