I thought I understood this stuff ..

we'll at least AS 2.0 ..

got a clip ... loads a child .. runs AS in frame 1 of child ... then child unloads ...

here's my problem ... when the child unloads the code in frame 1 of the child is re run ....

I know it's something stupid ...

parent swf

var CtlrStatus:Boolean = false
var vidCtrls:MovieClip
var vCtlrsLdr:Loader = new Loader()
vCtlrsLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, LoadComplete);
var vCtlrName:String

var cc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection()
cc.allowDomain(''*'')
cc.client = this

var cc2:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection()

function LoadCtlrs():void{
if(CtlrStatus == false){
?//var vCtlrsLdr:Loader = new Loader()
//vCtlrsLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, LoadComplete);
?var reqst:URLRequest = new URLRequest(protocol + domain + path + ''Controls.swf'');
?vCtlrsLdr.load(reqst);
}
if(CtlrStatus == true){
?unLoadCtlrs(null)
}
}

function LoadComplete(evt:Event):void {
vidCtrls = MovieClip(vCtlrsLdr.content);
vCtlrsLdr.unload()
addChildAt(vidCtrls,1);
CtlrStatus = true
vCtlrName = vidCtrls.name
vidCtrls.x = 49
vidCtrls.y = 199
vidCtrls.gotoAndPlay(2)
cc.connect(''_cCom'')
cc2.send(''_cCom2'',''setVol'',Volume)
Shell.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, unLoadCtlrs);
}

function unLoadCtlrs(evt):void{
?Shell.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, unLoadCtlrs)
?vidCtrls.gotoAndPlay(11)
}

function unLoadComplete():void {
removeChild(getChildByName(vCtlrName))
CtlrStatus = false
cc.close()
}
