hi there…i have a little problem with the unloadMovie command…  
you see…

i have a button which is **mc2\_about**

here is the code

```php
menu.nav.mc2_about.onRelease = function() {
if(nextMovie!="portfolio2.swf"){
	//set the variable that holds the name of the movie to be loaded
	nextMovie="portfolio2.swf";
	_root.container.loadMovie("portfolio2.swf",1);
	//tell the currently loaded content movie to play it's outro animation
	main_zoom.gotoAndPlay("unload");
	_level1.unloadMovie()
}

	};

```

where i want to unload \*\*level1 \*\*which is a scrollbar with a text  
and load the portfolio section in an empty container…  
to help you with my structure i want to load in an empty container the  
swf’s of the main navigation (home- portfolio,etc) and the sub-menus of it’s categories[about me-print-web design) into levels…  
is there a simpliest way of doing that?  
any help would be good…!! 😉
