Hi 🙂

I’m building a site for my music and stupid as I am I tried to do so in flash.  
well, most part works just fine

problem:  
i load an mp3 with

```auto
loadMovieNum("queen/player.swf", 2);

```

to use my homemade player-interface

what I need now is a way to unload these movies the moment someone leaves the frame. i tried to put an

```auto
unloadMovieNum("queen/player.swf");

```

on every menue item but that does not seem to work  
(by now you probably realised I’m no flash-guru)

if anyone could help (the simpliest way possible) i would be greatful forever (maybe I’ll write a song for my new saviour 😉 )

tried that  
… no effect at all (music keeps playing and the player remains visible)

when I use “unloadMovieNum” the browser opens the domain root directory and I can see the files on the webspace (so at least it does something)

i tried also changing the swf-path (with or without sub-directory) … doesn’t work either (exactly same problems as mentioned)
