[Flashr] help

[Kelvin Luck]

Hi Rik,

I can't really help with most of your issues I'm afraid. It's been a long  
time since I've programed in AS2 and I can't remember all of the quirks...  
I think that maybe when you loadMovie into a clip then the loaded movie  
replaces that clip though. So maybe you should create a clip inside the  
clip and loadMovie into that inside clip?

Re. question 4, it may be related to issues Flash Player 9 has with  
unloading content (see  
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/04/failure_to_unlo.html )  
although I'm not sure if that's only with AS3... It is worth making sure  
you don't have any timers running or anything before you remove the  
content anyway...

Hope that helps,

Kelvin :)
