I have a multi movie project. The stub movies initiates a menu movie - this always works fine. When you click on a menu button (this is flash movie) the next movie always loads on the screen but it very often then freezes causing windows to report an error. Do I need to unload the first movie before a menu item movies starts - and if so how. Any suggestions gratefully received.

There is no need to unload a movie explicitly before going to another. Your problem lies elsewhere.

Use
Code:
go
instead of
Code:
play
, if you’re using the latter.

Clear your menu Flash instances by resetting
Code:
the stageColor
, or better, by placing the stage size rectangular shape on top of everything in the frame 1 of your target movie with something like “not reverse” ink settings.

These are the obvious ones. The cause of your problem can be anything though. Can you run your target movie on its own without errors?
 
Thank you for suggestions - yes the target movie always plays by itself. Already using go to movie not play.
