Well suprise suprise hera I am again!
This time I don´t get it how to unload a movie thats loaded into a mc.
I load a swf ( player.swf ) into a mc (holder) and then I wanna unload that mc (holder) from a button within the player.swf.
The swf that the contains the holder mc is called media.swf.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated

You could try and load an empty container onto the same level as the one you want to get rid of

Ok thx for the help but I found the solution in the almighty database of macromedia.
It was really easy (isn´t everything when you get it).
Attaching the code just in case some rookie like me stumbles over the same problem.
Viva la Kirupa!!!
