If you are using \*\*loadMovie \*\*to load an external swf into an empty movieclip then you don’t need to unload it. Whatever you load in next (into the same container) will replace what you have in there now.

If you are using **loadMovieNum** to load an external swf into a level then yes you can unload the movie by using unloadMovieNum(levelNumber);

i was unsure where you on which clip you want to unload the movie.If you stick

```auto
unloadMovieNum(1);

```

inside the on(release){} of main (frame 226,layer 12) it unloads ok but you have to wait until the tween finishes.

similarly on the instances of arr\_2main eg/

```auto
on(press)
{
	unloadMovieNum(1)
	_root.link=7;
	_root.play();
}

```

but if you are wanting to load another movie,just load into the same\_level
