I need help clearing an XML file (which is used to load images in a slideshow) so that I can load a new XML file (to play a new set of images in the slideshow). Below is the actionscript used to load the images into the movieclip “photoLoad”:

```auto
edit

```

I have tried simply loading **photos2.xml** , but **photos.xml** continues playing and is not replaced. I think I need to unload **photos.xml** before loading **photos2.xml**. Any help is much appreciated!
