Availability
Flash 3 and later (Flash 5’s unloadMovieNum(
)
function corresponds to Flash 3’s unload
Movie
, which worked only with numbered levels)
Synopsis
unloadMovieNum(level)
Arguments
- level
A non-negative integer or an expression that yields a non-negative integer, indicating 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 only remove
movies on document levels, not movie clips. It is normally 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);
