Hi

I´ve loaded a movie into level 2 and want to be able to get rid of it again. I´ve tried using this:

on (release) {  
unloadMovieNum (“flash/many/video.swf”, 2);  
loadMovieNum(“flash/many/design.swf”, 1);  
}  
But get an error, being a total action script retart I cant solve this problem:(

Is it better to unload the movie on a frame script or what?

When you unload a movie level you don’t need to specify the name of the movie.

unloadMovieNum(2)

will suffice

I was having some problems with that too and it doesnt seem to work.  
So i figured another cheap way to do it

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“something”,levelNoOfMovieYouWantToDelete);
