hi,

this is what i’m using to load a swf file into a movie clip on stage. (mainAnimationHolder)

```php
loadAnimation = function() {
    var animationLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    var animationLoaderListener:Object = new Object();
    animationLoaderListener.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {}
    animationLoaderListener.onLoadComplete = function() {
        // something happens
    }
    animationLoader.addListener(animationLoaderListener);
    animationLoader.loadClip("flash/animation.swf",mainAnimationHolder);
}

```

this works perfectly.  
Now what i want to do is, UNLOAD/DELETE the swf file from mainAnimationHolder.

The function runs on \_root

Could anyone help me?

Thx 🙂
