Type 1034 Coercion

programming flash

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@68f48ec9 to flash.display.Loader.
at as3v2_fla::MainTimeline/removeFull()

I keep getting this coercion error from clicking the button “testclose” which we have added in the stage as a movieclip. The function for it is at the bottom of this mess XD.
I am trying to call the function removeFull upon clicking the testclose button but the error is all I get.

Any help/insights/suggestions/bullets for me ?
