I have this flash XML loading in and a drop down list, when a user selects something from the drop down list it loads in the xml list/stuff, my problem is when I select another from the drop down it loads that xml file but appends it to the first etc

how can I clear the whole array say on changing the list option so that it clears the xml array before the new choice loads in

thanks
