Why is my "Unload Movie" not unloading the movie?

Why is my "Unload Movie not unloading the movie?

I have a mail form that is loaded into level 1 as a separate movie using the following code:

on (press) {
tellTarget ("_root&quot {
gotoAndStop ("ContactFr"
loadMovieNum ("

1);
}
}

All of the other buttons have an unload command to get rid of the movie so users can see what is underneath it in level 0. It simply is not working as far as I can tell. once the mail form is loaded and I hit one of the other buttons...I am taken to the specified frame and all I see is the same mail form with some of the text peeking from around the edges underneath it in level 0.

my unload command is as follows:

on (press) {
unloadMovieNum (1);
tellTarget ("_root&quot {
gotoAndStop ("HomeFr"
}
}
is there something I am missing here? Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

Don't really understand why you're targeting "_root" on your first press...

Have you tried changing the visibility of the movie, rather than unloading it, to see if that would work?

Just a thought!

I have to use tell target to address the main timeline since my buttons are on a separate movie clip...

as far as the visibility goes...not a bad idea actually...I will give it a try....

All other suggestions are welcomed...

Just can't seem to figure out why this darned movie will not unload...

I think my code is correct.... Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

just checked your code and it's fine....have you configged the invisblizer in the DDTTP coding? Might work! LOL (just teasing) ;-)
