Clearing Previous Scene

[sillysammy]

I am pretty new to flash 8 and I am making a completely animated version of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme/Intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yntAFecYr2A
In The first scene, i am making an intro with a custom cursor and floating background which follows the cursor. Can someone give me a script for resetting the cursor and background when i am in scene 2.? Thanks..also if anyone has any suggestions for my flash version of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, feel free to give me some tips.

-Thanks

try the removeMovieClip command
it goes like this
movieclip.removeMovieClip();
or
removeMovieClip("movieclip");

Where should i put this code...at the begginning of the new actions or at the end of the scene 1 actions??

I'm not sure if i understand you. When you make a new scene it doesn't transfer the movieclips over. So you shouldn't have a problem at all. It sounds like your working with frames and not scenes. If you upload your file i could have a look at it. Megaupload is a good option.

in scene 1 on the "script" layer create a new keyframe
go to the actions and add this code.

cursor_mc.removeMovieClip();
bgHolder.removeMovieClip();

that's it
BTW its pretty interesting and nice Actionscript.

if you can.. can you help me with another part of the script...i need to have the cursor back to normal where it doesn't draw and i need for anything that has been drawn in scene 1 to be permanetly erased in scene 2... thnks again..

sorry didn't notice that extra stuff.
the code to add to the same frame where the other stuff is, is this:

terrain.removeMovieClip();
Mouse.show();

thanks again
