Remove images added with addChild

1

removeChild is not working for me here, and I’ve tried try/catch, to no avail.

Any suggestions, please?

what happens is a timer is kicked off, the counter counts 10 secons and fires off a rotate picture function. The rotate picture function is supposed to display 7 pictures in sequence, starting with 1.jpg, then 2.jpg, etc…

All the images are loading, but I can’t get it to unload the previous image before loading the next one.

I’ve tried removeChild, unload();, try/catch, etc… this is the basic part of the code that loads the images…



var picloader:Loader = new Loader();
                        
                        addChild (picloader);
                        if(_picDisplayed < numOfImages+1){
                                
                                picloader.load( new URLRequest("put any url with pictures here"));
                                picloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, pictureLoaded);
