I can load swf file from nav buttons. Gallery page is my default page. When I click about button \*\*I want gallery.swf to unload and about page to show up.  
\*\*  
Currently, gallery page is still in the background when I click about page.  
Gallery page is removed if I click about page again. How do I fix this?

var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

galleryBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, galleryPage);

function galleryPage(e:MouseEvent):void {  
var page:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“nature.swf”);  
pageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadPage);  
pageLoader.load(page);  
addChild(pageLoader);  
};

aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutPage);

function aboutPage(e:MouseEvent):void {  
var page:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“about.swf”);  
pageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadPage);  
pageLoader.load(page);  
addChild(pageLoader);  
};

function unloadPage(e:Event):void {  
var pageLoader:Loader = e.currentTarget as Loader;  
pageLoader.unload();  
removeChild(pageLoader);  
}
