RE: FN-FORUM: Cant unloadMovie(); in flash?

date posted 13th March 2006 21:01

Hi
Thanks for the reply to this thread, I have now found a solution...

I had tried all solutions posted but none of them worked! The problem is
caused due to the fact that the 'SWF' file that I wish to load into the
'main.swf' is 18mb in size and unloading a 'SWF' file that hasn't
finished installing cant be done by unLoadMovie() this only works with
files that have completed loading.

My solution was simple but effective here it is

On (press) {
loadMovieNum("main.swf",0);
}

This loads the main.swf back to level '0' regardless what other 'swf'
files are playing on other layers.

In easy to understand terms: level '0' is acting as a tablecloth which I
have whipped out from under all other playing movies and then laid back
over the top again.
