unload movie clip transition.

[monkeygraphik]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a problem. I want to appy a transition effect to a movie clip just before it is removed from the stage and another loaded in it place. But, no matter what I try, I can't seem to get it to happen. I am using the following code to remove my movie clip from the stage;

Code: Select all

news_btn.onPress = function  () {
    unloadMovie("welcome_mc");
    unloadMovie("img1_mc");
    loadMovie("news.swf","_root.emptyclip_mc");
}

I want to be able to stick something like this in there so that it is performed before the unloadMovie functions.

Code: Select all

mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start(img1_mc, {type:mx.transitions.Rotate, direction:1, duration:2, easing:mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeIn, param1:empty, param2:empty});    
mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start(welcome_mc, {type:mx.transitions.Wipe, direction:1, duration:4, easing:mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, param1:empty, param2:empty});
}

Any ideas on how I achieve this?

Thanks for your help,

Tom.
