Unload movie clip problem

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone can help. I am currently designing a site that has a series of images on the home page that when clicked load an external swf. file into a dummy movie clip on the home page. My problem is this. In order to get some nice motion into the loading and unloading of the external swf's, I have set up some motion tweens. There is a stop action in the middle of the frames and a " Back " button. When you click the back button there is a simple "play" action that continues the timeline on to the end, unloading what has gone on before. However, I dont know how to then get the swf loaded in to "Dummy" to unload and return me to my original home page! Ideally I want some code on the very last frame of the timeline that unloads the movie and drops me back into the home page. Help! How do I do that? I'm probably being really dumb, but I can't for the life of me work it out.

Thanks,

Tom.

Re: Unload movie clip problem

You'll need to use something like this on your button:
Code: Select all
on (release)
{
_root.gotoAndStop (1);
}
 
Or try:
 
on (release)
{
_parent._root.gotoAndStop (1);
}
'

Give those a try.....and other various iterations of the same thing.
