How to unload a movie ?

HI

I am loading a movie over a container like this:
function containYoutube(youtubevar, depthLevel) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("youtubecontainer",depthLevel);
this.youtubecontainer.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/"+youtubevar);
}

but different videos are loaded at the same time in the same container, so I believe I should perform an instruction that could delete the instance created by createEmptyMovieClip in the previous event.

How to do that ?

Thanks

Try

removeMovieClip(this.youtubecontainer);

That should work.

Good luck,

I have on release event the following:

on (release)
{
      Security.allowDomain('http://www.youtube.com');
      Security.allowDomain('http://gdata.youtube.com');
      Security.allowInsecureDomain('http://gdata.youtube.com');
      Security.allowInsecureDomain('http://www.youtube.com');

      function containYoutube(youtubevar, depthLevel) {
            removeMovieClip(mcDestino);
            mcDestino.createEmptyMovieClip("youtubecontainer",depthLevel);
            mcDestino.youtubecontainer.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/"+youtubevar);
      }

      containYoutube("my string of URL video", mcDestino.getNextHighestDepth());
}

After clicking in different buttons the previous video is still loaded and it plays at the same time of new ones.

The buttons and the video container are in the same level (inside other movieclips)

That's odd, how about

removeMovieClip(mcDestino.youtubecontainer);
unloadMovie(mcDestino.youtubecontainer);

If this doesn't work, can you upload your fla so I can take a look at it?

Good luck.

The file has confidential content, could I send it to you by email?
