Hello

Is it possible to unattach a “attachMovie”? So if I have a next and previous button and the next attaches into depth 5 and the previoius attaches into depth 10. Then the next will not work once previous is clicked. I know with loadMovie you can do a unload so I’m wondering if you can do a unattachMovie

Cheers

the attachMovie() version of unloadMovie() would be removeMovieClip() 🙂
