unloadMovieNum(0)

[jzauner]

Just started learning Flash a couple weeks ago. Made good progress up to now.

The site i'm working on currently requires loading many movies, but none at the same time. In other words, i want only one movie running at a time. So, upon loading one movie, how do i unload the previous.

Here's an example of what's not working:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("/site/flash/seatOne.swf", 50);
unloadMovieNum(0);
}

The above seems to unload all movies, leaving nothing.

Here's the link to the site:

http://origin-8.com/site/index.htm

Here's the navigation instructions: rollOver "cloud9", clickOn "cruiser", rollOver the first saddle in the upper left corner and click -- screen goes to background color.

I appreciated the help.

I'm no flash expert, but couldn't you unload before you load?

on (release) {
    unloadMovieNum(0);
    loadMovieNum("/site/flash/seatOne.swf", 50);
}

Using unloadMovieNum(0) simply unloads your main movie located on level 0, thus as you've discovered, unloading any other movie loaded on any other level with it.

Simply always load the next movie on the same level... It will automatically "unload" the previous movie when you load the next one.

Or load all your movies on level 0...

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("/site/flash/seatOne.swf", 0);
}

Thus each movie loaded becomes the main movie, one after the other...

That did it. Thanks.
