loadLevelNum(_url,0) in AS3 not possible

[VanBcGunner]

Hi, a good trick I used to do to reload a flash file in AS2, was just to do:

loadLevelNum(_url,0)

this reloaded the current flash movie into itself, therefore clearing all objects regardless of who has reference to them and creating a brand new flash movie.

this is the main Objection i have with AS3. Is there anyway to smulate that in AS3? thanks.

that was loadMovieNum().

and no, there's nothing comparable in as3.

[VanBcGunner]

yeah, sorry, it's LoadMovieNum

But, I liked it because it gave me a clean break from the current flash content into a new clean flash movie. So, there is no way to reload a swf movie in AS3? That would really suck if it's the case.

i can't think of anything comparable.

Ah... I found something, although not as good as UnloadMovie... it's called...

loader.unloadAndStop()

it stops cold the timers, the sounds, etc.. and unloads the movie. Close enough.

that's for unloading a swf that you loaded into a main swf.  it won't unload your main swf.
