I have a swf that loads another swf into it. my need is that i first try loading the child swf and check in 1 second to see how much was loaded.

then i will abort this and load it from fresh. cant figure out why i cant abort it. How to abort loading the swf iand start a fresh loading using the same Loader ?

Note: i have to use the sameLoader for both loading… so cannot use a separate Loader instance.

Please … help…
