Hi there. I am having a problem with the Loader() class, specifically with unloading content.

Let’s say I load a external SWF containing an FLV playback component into a MovieClip instance called videoSlot

```auto
 var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
videoSlot.addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("video1.swf"); 
myLoader.load(url);

```

If I then move to another frame without an instance of the videoSlot MovieClip, I still hear the audio from the loaded SWF, even though I cannot see it. The same holds true even if I then use unload() to remove the loaded object. Adobe’s TechNotes say that unloading will only remove the object from the display list but not from the actual flash player memory ([http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=6a360ede)](http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=6a360ede%29), and the only way to remove it entirely is to register an UNLOAD event listener that clears all the NetStreams.

… but in my code, I have not instantiated any NetSteams, so how can I close them? What am I missing here?? …it suddenly seems so tricky to load video - that can’t be right! All I want to do is load a SWF (containing an FLV) onto frame A and then have it gone when I go to frame B. Any sage advice?

Thanks!
