Subject: FLASH: Unloading Movie from level - - multiple instances of same movie!
From: Dino Giacomazzi

Hey Yall,

I have a movie with a button that loads mulitple instances of the same SWF
into different levels. Im having a bit of trouble unloading the movies
indivitually. I have a setup like this:

Main Movie - Frame Action - Frame 1

Set Variable: "ln" = 0
Set Variable: "bn" = 0

"ln" is the Level Number
"bn" is for the box number (indivitual instance of the abc.swf)


Main Movie - Button

On (Release)
Load Movie ("abc.swf", (ln) + 1)
Set Variable: "ln" = (ln) + 1
Set Variable: "bn" = (bn) + 1
End On

This part works great, each time i click the button, it loads another
instance of the swf into a higher level. i am able to pass text variable to
each of the indivitual levels and am really happy about that.

The problem is in the abc.swf i have a button, that when clicked, is
supposed to uload that particular instance of the movie.

abc.swf - frame action - frame 1

Set Variable: "abn" = _level0:bn
Set Variable: "abn1" = int (abn)

Im just guessing here, but what i am trying to do is convert the value of
abn which is the value of bn from the main movie to a fixed number. then I
use abn1 in the button to calculate what level the movie lives at.

Then I try

On (Release)
Unload Movie ((abn1))
End On

with the level property set to expression.. no matter what i seem to do,
when I click the button, it unloads everything from the screen as if its
saying unload level 0.

I think im in way over my head and am pretty confused at this point. Any
help would be appreciated.

Ill post the FLA's of the two movies at :

Thanks in advance
