unloadMovie() without unloading a container MC, anyone know how?

Ok this has got me stumped.

I’ve decided to use the ‘MC container’ way to load movies to the top left hand corner registration point of a MC.

This is because of the pin point accuracy of being able to load an external movie with exactly the same stage dimensions as the MC it loads into. I can’t seem to work out how to unload the movie without unloading the container mc though.

I was using the loadmovieNum action with levels by making the stage dimentions the same as the main movie where they load to so the loaded movies are like they are on sheets of acetate. I don’t want do it this way though.

Here’s an example of where I am at.

playBtn.onPress = function() {
	loadMovie("products.swf", _root.container);
};
stopBtn.onRelease = function() {
	unloadMovie(I think I need to sort this bit out);
};

I’ve tried different targets and levels with unloadMovie() and unloadMovieNum(). Still not getting it though.

Thanks for any help with this.

This is the only thing I can think of:

container.unloadMovie();
