Swap to different instances

programming flash
1

I load, with the help of the form, the following:

_root.loader.loadMovie(“Front_Page_Ad2.swf”);
stop();

It loads to my instance called “contents”. I than do the following:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie(“Pad_Wis.swf”);
}

As you can imagine it goes over the top of “Front_Page_Ad2.swf"
How can I swap out the movies to the instance “contents”? I have several movies that swap out by different buttons.

Becouse they are transperant, I was hoping that there was a command that would remove what was there before it is placed on the area of the target text area.

If you totally want to remove the swf so that it cant be seen on the stage then use unloadMovie(“movie.swf”); Just like using loadMovie, only it does the opposite.

Since I use the following I will not know the name of the currant movie:

on (release) {
_root.product.loadMovie(“Pad_Lead.swf”);
}

Is there a way to remove away movie that is on the instant “product”?

Hey,

If you do
[AS]
on(release) {
_root.product.loadMovie(“a.swf”);
}
[/AS]

Then another button you have
[AS]
on(release) {
_root.product.loadMovie(“b.swf”);
}
[/AS]

Then its my belief that b.swf will just replace a.swf. i.e Flash will automatically unload a.swf then load b.swf in after it.
