unload external swf

[mikeemikeex]

Hey,
I have recently started to build a portfolio site..

My index page has two buttons... 'about' and 'portfolio' which loads each respective external swf into a holder.

When 'portfolio' is loaded there are another 8 buttons which again load 8 external swfs into a holder in the portfolio.swf. Each of the 8 external swf files load fine, but is there anyway to have a back button instead in each of the 8 external swf to go back to the portfolio.swf without having to click the 'portfolio' button?

i have tried
_root.unloadMovie.... but it just clears the stuff on my index page and loads the portfolio.swf

i hope that all makes sense, cheers

and _root.holder.unloadMovie?

it's kinda confusing to understand what you mean, can you send us your fla file?
