Hi, I’m having a problem with unloading mc’s from a small game i’m currently producing here.

I’m trying to call the following code from an ONCLIPEVENT handler on the clip.

```auto

this.unloadMovie();

```

will this not unload my movie because it is trying to unload itself, or is there more to it than that???
