I have been searching all over about removing embedded swf but couldn’t find any solution.  
Here is my scenario

```php

[Embed(source="hero.swf")]
var Hero:Class;

var hero:Sprite = new Hero();
this.addChild(hero);

//now say after some button click I have to remove this swf

this.removeChild(hero);

//the swf goes away but its sound keeps on playing

```

So is there any method to completely remove it just like Loader.unloadAndStop().  
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
