I have a small problem,(among many others…) i am loading an external swf using:

this.onRelease = function(){  
loadMovieNum (“contentLondon.swf”,50)  
}

So the ext SWF loads on top of my main SWF, but i have other buttons that will load other ext SWF’s. What i would like to do is when an ext SWF is loaded and the user choses to click another link from the main SWF, i would like to have the already loaded one “unload” so that the new one can load in place of it.

If anyone has suggestion to how to accomplish this i would appreciate it, Thanks in advance for any and all help…
