Hi

Can somebody help me. I’d like to unload a movieclip after I have loaded a jpg.

Here is my file, the clip i’d like to unload is the preloader, which is just an animation of 4 squares.

I know i have to use the unloadmovie, but i’m having trouble with the getbytesloaded and getbytestotal.

can somebody write me an example in my file.

Thanx in advance.
