Hello, I have a really cool video loaded in my flash site, but I want to stop it or remove it entirely from stage.

I’m trying this first…

```auto

var videoRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("videoplayer.swf");
var videoLoader:Loader = new Loader();

//this.buttonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, functionName);

function loadVideo():void
{
    this.videoLoader.load(this.videoRequest);
    this.addChild(this.videoLoader);
}

function unloadVideo():void
{
    this.removeChild(this.videoLoader);
}

```

it does remove the videoLoader but the sounds keeps playing… so im assuming that the video is still going… how can i kill entirely??

please help!.. thanks! :write:
