i have a bunch of \_mc that load .swfs into the same shell2\_mc

im trying to figure out how to replace one .swf with another…(swapping) or unloading the previous swf before loading the next swf onClick

possibly using an (if) statement ? …or var swap:boolean = true;  
any suggestions

bio\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);  
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“bio2.swf”);  
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);  
shell2\_mc.addChild(imageLoader);

}
