Hi guys!

Trying to remove all instances of the thumbLoader, but since I can´t use getChildByName, I don´t know how to do it!

Any ideas?

```auto
for (var n:int = 0; n < images.length(); n++)
		{
			if (images[n].attribute("source") == event.target.name)
			{
				var thumbList = images.@source[n].parent().parent().image;
				for (var o:int = 0; o < thumbList.@thumb.length(); o++)
				{
					thumbLoader = new Loader();
					thumbLoader.load(new URLRequest(thumbList.@thumb[o]));
					thumbLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, thumbHandler);
					thumbLoader.x = o * 175 + 140;
					thumbLoader.y = 590;
					addChild(thumbLoader);

					thumbLoader.name = thumbList.@source[o];
				}
			}
		}
		function thumbHandler(event:Event):void
			{
				fadeTween=new Tween(event.target.content,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,1,true);
			}

```

It would be even better if I could use the Tweenclass to fade them out before removing them, but that´s overkill for now, but yes, would be nice 🙂

Thanks in advance
