load unload movie as3

[waylander]

I have spent the last two days searching the web for an answer and had little joy so can you help me?

I found this bit here: htt ://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14190.html

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();                     // create a new instance of the Loader class
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("news.swf");        // in this case both SWFs are in the same folder 
myLoader.load(url);                                     // load the SWF file
addChild(myLoader);                                     // add that instance to the display list, adding it to the Stage at 0,0

// location
myLoader.x = 590;                                        // move the loaded SWF 10 pixels to the right (from the left edge)   
myLoader.y = 53;                                       // move the loaded SWF 175 pixels down from the top

btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GoToAndStop2);

It works fine but as you can guess as soon as I navigate away with my 'btn_home' the swf is still there over the top of everything else, can anyone help me with the unloadmovie script for when I press the btn_home?

Figured out the answer for anyone that needs it as well.

unloadAndStop() is what I used and here is how I used it.

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();                     // create a new instance of the Loader class
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("news.swf");        // in this case both SWFs are in the same folder 
myLoader.load(url);                                       // load the SWF file
addChild(myLoader);                                     // add that instance to the display list, adding it to the Stage at 0,0

// location
myLoader.x = 590;                                        // move the loaded SWF 590 pixels to the right (from the left edge)   
myLoader.y = 53;  
// move the loaded SWF 53 pixels down from the top

function unLoad (event:MouseEvent):void 
{
    trace("click!");
    myLoader.unloadAndStop();
}

btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unLoad);
btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GoToAndStop2);    // the function for this is on frame one
