Hi,
I have a movie containing a movieclip in which an empty movieclip is created with AS, showing an externally loaded pic.
At the click of a button i want the pic to unload again, but it does’nt work. I tried removeMovieClip and Delete.
How can i do this?

unloading would mean unloadMovie
removing the clips would be removeMovieClip… as DerickLemos posted
