Re: FLASH: Unload movie from target

[Cheri Harder]

Good point, Carl.  However, it gives the same error message even when there

IS already a movie loaded (I have the same commands in several buttons, each

unloads the secondary movie at rollover, to make room for the other things I

show at rollover, then loads a different movie in the MC on release)  And

the commands work just fine, I was just getting the "Output window" error on

"test movie" and the error message doesn't affect the actions at all.
