Set loadMovie time, unloadMovie, loadMovie

1

in that order-

Put simply-
can anyone guide me to any resources that would explain how to do this?

  1. Load 2 swf’s into empty mc’s (this part is already done)
  2. Have those 2 swf’s be on the stage for 3 seconds.
  3. Unload those 2 swf’s.
  4. Then load a completely new swf once those have been unloaded.

You can use the setInterval method. Like so:

function unloadSWFs () {
// code to unload here.
// followed by code to load the next movies.
}

myInterval = setInterval(unloadSWFs, 3000);

Just put that in the same frame.

Well that seems like it would work so well. This is what I have and this (attached) is the result. I think I am going to bail with my using 2 loadMovies and one mc for the intro and replace with one loaded swf. That way, when I want to load a new one I can just load it into the same mc.

I do thank you for your help!!
