Unload MC when other button clicked?

[raisinlove]

Hi, I have this image gallery from a template file I'm attempting to customize with actionscript for more flexibility but I came across a problem with external jpg image loading. You see, when loading them via a click of a thumbnail, I load the jpeg into a new MC on the highest level. Now I'm looking for a way to unload it when any further buttons are clicked (including it's own thumbnail). I realize I could call the unload command in every single button in the interface but I was wondering if there was a global function I could use instead. Something like "anyButtonRelease" ;)

Any ideas?

Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way...

thanks
