onUnload (MovieClip.onUnload handler)

onUnload = function() {}

Invoked in the first frame after the movie clip is removed from the Timeline. Flash processes the actions associated with the onUnload event handler before attaching any actions to the affected frame. You must define a function that executes when the event handler is invoked. You can define the function on the Timeline or in a class file that extends the MovieClip class or is linked to a symbol in the library.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example defines a function for the MovieClip.onUnload() method that sends a trace() action to the Output panel:

my_mc.onUnload = function () {
    trace("onUnload called");
}
