Hey,

I have a problem. I can’t seem to unload a movie, I’ve tried every possible actionscript code and still it won’t go away.

My objective is to run in the main stage a sub menu and for that I’ve done sub pages each one with a previous and next button (inside the movie that will be loaded), and that’s the catch. I can’t put the loadMovieNum in 0 level because it would replace the main stage. So I’m trying to do on the button:

on (release) {  
unloadMovieNum(1); // it was loaded into level 1  
loadMovieNum(“new\_item.swf”,1); // he overlays both movies with transparency  
}

Is there anyway to remove the actual movie and replace it with the new one?  
Please do help :crazy: going nuts
