I want to load my external SWF file using the following code in “Panel4\_mc” instead of on stage. How can I do it"

function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

removeChild(loader);  
var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“swfs/” + event.target.name + “.swf”);  
loader.load(newSWFRequest);  
addChild(loader);  
}

Thanks.
