unloadMovieNum() Global Function
remove a movie from a document level
Flash 3
unloadMovieNum(level)
Arguments
level A nonnegative integer or an expression that yields a nonnegative integer, indi-
cating the document level to unload.
Description
The unloadMovieNum() function is nearly identical to unloadMovie(), except that it
requires the target
level of the load operation to be specified as a number rather than as a
string. This means that unloadMovieNum() can remove movies from document levels only,
not from movie clips. Normally, it is used when we wish to dynamically assign the level of
a movie to unload, as in:
var x = 3;
unloadMovieNum(x);
This can also be achieved using string concatenation with the regular unloadMovie()
function:
unloadMovie("_level" + x);
Usage
The unloadMovieNum() function corresponds to the Unload Movie action in Flash 3 and
Flash 4, which worked only with numbered levels.
