How are you loading an external movieClip??  
If it’s an external swf file, then it should unload automatically.  
If not, use this:

```auto

_root.movieClip.unloadMovie();

```

As for the movieClip acting as a button, just add this to actions:

```auto

on(release){
_root.movieClip.loadMovie("whatever.swf");
}

```

Is that what you mean??
