Hi,

I'm stuck. Anyone please help...

I have a shell swf that is loading a swf. How do you have the loaded swf tell the parent loader to unload itself after the loaded swf finishes playing?

Thanks,

Try using: MovieClip(parent.parent).unloadSwf();

You can just have a function on the shell swf that unloads the child. Then you call this from the loaded movie. For example:

On the parent:

public function unloadSwf():void {

removeChild(yourLoadedSwf);

}

On the child:

parent.parent.unloadSwf();

Thanks for the reply, though with AS3, it throws an error for just about everything it seems!

When I inserted this code:

parent.parent.unloadSwf();

on the timeline of the swf that is loaded in the parent, this is the error message I received when publishing the swf that is to be loaded:

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 61, Line 1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method unloadSwf through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.

Any idea what this means?

Thanks,

Dan

Dispatch event and listen to it in the loading (parent) swf.
