I have a button1 that has the following Action Script:
on (press) {
movie instance1.MovieClip.attachMovie("movie name1");
movie instance1.play();
}
The movie1 has a "stop();" Action in the first and last frame.

I have button2 that attaches and plays movie2.

The button1 will play the movie as I want however
I would like to remove the movie1 when the user picks button2 and vice
versa.

pick button1 play movie1 and clear movie2 from screen.
pick button2 play movie2 and clear movie1 from screen.

The question is what action can be attached to the buttons to clear the
corresponding move?

TIA

p.s.
the removeMovie ActionScript doesn't seem work.

RTFM > check your as-dictionary on attachMovie() again. Requires three
arguments and you're rpoviding only one.

OK, this is my new script:

on (release) {
_root.products.removeMovieClip();
_root.aboutus.MovieClip.attachMovie("About Us Line", "AU", 0);
_root.aboutus.play();
}

the "_root.products.removeMovieClip();" doesn't do what I thought it should
do and that is to remove the movie named "products" from the screen.

I was also tiring the "._visible = true and false" but I'm not getting good
results.
I'm very new to this stuff so please any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA
