help with AS3/ unloading external swf file

[sasimotion]

I have external swf files load and play on main swf with button click but need to find out how to close with just mouse click. Here's the code so far:

var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("kelly.swf");
var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
kelly_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickF);

function clickF(event:MouseEvent):void{
img1Loader.load(img1Request);
img1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Even t.COMPLETE,loadNowF);
function loadNowF(event:Event):void{
container_mc.addChild(img1Loader);
}
}

Have you tried calling container_mc.removeChild(img1Loader)?

Thanks for your suggestion. yes, I tried that and got the following error:
1120: Access of undefined property img1loader.

The compiler is case sensitive. So be careful of your spelling and capitalization:
(image1Loader vs. image1loader <-- see any difference there???).

removeChild doesn't unload anything, it only removes it from the display list. The loaded item will still be in memory, ready to display again with the next addChild.

To remove items from memory altogether, use the unload() method of the Loader class. Or, if you are going to be loading mutiple items one at a time, consider just using the same loader instance again. No need to unload what's there, just use it to load something else, and the former thing will automatically be unloaded.
