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.
Example
The following example defines a function for the MovieClip.onUnload method that writes the
results of a
trace() method to the log file:
my_mc.onUnload = function () {
trace ("onUnload called");
};
