unloadMovieNum help 1

[technoknow]

I've loaded a mc in Scene 3 with the code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("jamieText.swf", 2);
}
In Scene 2 I try to unload it with:
unloadMovieNum(2);
It doesn't unload. I've noticed that the other messages talk about targeting a frame name. So I've tried by naming the mc "text_clip" and then used the code:
_level2.unloadMovie("text_clip"
Thanks for your help,

Is it because you're loading the movie 1 scene after you're trying to unload it? Not trying to be smart, that just seems a little confusing to me.

Adam, you're a genius!
I really love the way this forum solves my problems.
Usually I take a lot of time to compose my question and while I'm doing that the answer comes to me, so you guys don't see most of my questions.
This time I guess I didn't spend enough time on the question but since you were confused by it and you're answer seemed so obvious I looked at it again.
Here is what I was doing wrong, for anyone following this post as a keyword search. I was putting my unload code:
unloadMovieNum(2); in Scene 1 instead of in the current scene.
So when I clicked the "home" button in scene 3 the code never ran.
If someone has the time could you point me to a tutorial on how to use the Debug feature on Flash?
I'm a Visual Basic hack and really loved the way you can "step through" the code line by line. I've been trying to get the hang of the Flash debugger but could really use some hints.
Thanks a bunch Adam14.
