Hello- I am having trouble with a problem in flash and cannot seem to find any helpful advice that I can apply to my situation. I inherited ,from a previous employee, a flash file and there is a bug which consists of a swf movie not unloading. I have attached the link to the website below. To be specific, after the publications button swf is loaded into the main file, you can never get it to unload fully. If any other buttons are clicked and their swf files are loaded, the buttons for the publications remain in the file ( not visually but the hit area remains). I just need to know how to get them to fully unload. Thanks for the help guys!
