Hi!  
I’m new with ActionScript and i’m having a problem:

I have a Flex/AS3 application that loads an AS2 swf using an SWFLoader component (or a Loader, i tried both). The AS2 swf starts ok but the problem appears when i trie to close it. I don’t know how to unload the swf. I tried exiting it from inside calling fscommand(“quit”); but it doesn’t work. I tried to get the AVM1Movie content from the AS3 application to call the unload method but it crashes. What can i do? I just need to unload the As2 swf when i click a button :{

Can anyone help me? Do you had this problem in the past?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!
