Um, ive done somehitng liek this a while back. I loaded a swf into a movie, ten had to get rid of it. To get rid of i, i gave the movie clip a name (right click it, panels, instance) then give it a name there. \r\rThen in ur script, where u want to get rid of it, try this - nameOfClip.unloadMovie();\r\rOr for a simple hack, just change its alpha 😉 .
