Ok so I used the following code from the flash mx tutorial on loading dynamic jpgs.

photo1.onRollOver = function () {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“photos/BuriedFence.jpg”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 150 ;  
container.\_y = 147.0;  
}

but now I want the movieclip to end when you rollout. What would the code look like??

Thanks,  
Michael

photo1.onRollOut = function () {  
unLoadMovieNum(1);  
}

try that and let me know. I think you can just refer to the movie num now that you’ve associated it with a level…

hmm…you might have to actually use the container’s name since you probably have more than that one item on lvl 1…

photo1.onRollOut = function () {  
UnLoadMovie(“container”);  
}

I’m sort of new to flash to so if this doesn’t help let me know and i’ll look back into my files and see if i can find where i’ve used this.

OK what happens if instead of on a roll out I just wanted the movieclip to unload after I click a button to go to a different section?

on (release) {  
createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
container.loadMovie(“your\_mc\_here.swf”);  
container.\_x = 150;  
container.\_y = 147;  
}  
on (releaseOutside) {  
unloadMovieNum(1);  
}

put this on every button. the button will load the mc and then unload it before re-loading the new one

although i recommend loading it on another lvl. Levels are great. Using them for this sort of thing gives you a lot of flexibility.
