Hi, I have created a simple example and I cant get this to work.

```auto

var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest("as2filewithsound.swf"));
addChild(l);

unloadButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
								l.unload() 
								l = null;
							          });

```

If i unload the swf before the sound get initialized its fine but otherwise the sound keeps playing… which is weird… you would think that it will unload with the loader…  
I need to make sure the sound gets killed.

anyone had this problem?
