hi
just trawling through the posts and don't know if you managed to fix
this problem
if you're having problems with unreferenced variables in as2, there is
always the _global object to fall back on. It's not a good thing to
use all the time but basically you can attach a property and pass the
interval to that and you will have access to it wherever you are in
your application
it's generally frowned on to use it as it usually means that the
structure of your application is unsound (for instance, it may be
better to create a function that clears a variable local to the loaded
in clip and then call that before you unload the movie) but when
you're in a tight spot, it can be the difference between hitting a
deadline and not
when you set your interval, do it like this
_global.intervalID = setInterval(this, "myfunc", 2000,
functionParameter1, functionParameter2);
and then if you need to get rid of the interval you can use the
following
clearInterval(_global.intervalID);
remember tho, if you have several clips trying to set the same _global
property you may run into a situation where it gets overwritten and
then cannot be cleared so like i said, this is a sticking plaster more
than anything else
hope this is useful

I have a movie that is loaded into another movie. The child-movie
uses an interval to periodically update itself. My problem is that
this continues to get triggered even after the child-movie is
unloaded from it's parent.
I've tried using an onUnload event in the _root of the child-movie
(_lockRoot is true), but it's doesn't seem to get triggered when the
child-movie is unloaded.
Thanks!
