Hi  
Wonder if anyone can help me with this? New to Actionscript.  
I am creating an expandable banner, I am able to load the expanded swf upon rollover, however I am trying to figure out how to remove the loaded swf on rollout, and therefore return to the unexpanded state.

Here is my actionscript:

function onOver(evt:MouseEvent) :void {  
var photo:Loader = new Loader();  
photo.load(new URLRequest(“expanded.swf”));  
holder.addChild(photo);  
}  
rollover\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, onOver);

function onOut(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
holder.removeChild(photo);  
}  
holder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT, onOut);

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
