i apologize if this is a frequently answered question, but i have looked all over trying to find an answer, with no luck.

a design i am working on relies on loading movies into the main stage (untitled2.swf). this main movie has links to all of the other movies, which also correspond to a frame.

for example, “button5” links to frame 62 in the main movie (untitled2.swf). frame 62 automatically loads movie (background5.swf) onto the stage, then “background5.swf” automatically loads a movie (portfolio1.swf) onto it.

“background5.swf” then acts as a consistant background for all of the portfolio movies. it contains all of the buttons which load and unload the subsequent portfolios.

ok, so my question is: is there a way to unload all of these movie from the main movie with a single button?

currently, i have a close button that opens with frame 62 of the main movie (untitled2.swf), but it only unloads “background5.swf,” leaving “portfolio#.swf” on the stage.

it’s getting close to driving me mad- any help would be greatly appreciated.
