Is there a way to clear a loaded swf from a level without loading something in its place?
I just want to be able to clear out levels that aren’t in use anymore.

you can use
unloadMovieNum(level)
this will unload the loaded swf from the level specified

yourmovieclipname.unloadClip(target)

ok… i obviously have some sort of syntax problem.
here’s the loadClip on the root.
```php
jayMCL.loadClip("nav.swf",1);
```
here’s what im trying to do from another swf on level 5
```php
_level0.jayMCL.unloadClip("bio.swf", 6);
```
here is what jayMCL is::
```php
var jayMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var jayListen:Object = new Object();
jayMCL.addListener(jayListen);
```
so to unload do i still have to access the clipLoader?
Im still a little wishy washy on the new MX loadClip
