Unloading a dynamic movieclip?

1

I’m having issues figuring out this once simple command. Below is my code, how can i create an unload function that works for all my buttons? I’ve been researching but can’t find something clear enough for me to understand. I feel like there’s an easy fix, but i’m fried from staring at it. Thanks!

var home:Loader = new Loader();
var contact:Loader = new Loader();
var cont:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

//1st button:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, homeOver);
function homeOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
home_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay(“on”);
}
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeLoad);

function homeLoad(Event: MouseEvent) {
    home.load(new URLRequest("home.swf"));
    cont.x = 0;
    cont.y = 20;
    stage.addChild(cont);
    cont.addChild(home);
}

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, homeOut);
function homeOut(evt:MouseEvent):void {
home_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay(“off”);
}

//2nd button:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contactLoad);
function contactLoad(Event: MouseEvent) {
contact.load(new URLRequest(“contact.swf”));
cont.x = 0;
cont.y = 20;
stage.addChild(cont);
cont.addChild(contact);
}

contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, contactOver);
function contactOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
contact_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay(“on”);
}

contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, contactOut);
function contactOut(evt:MouseEvent):void {
contact_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay(“off”);
}

u can use one loader.
it is enough to add cont once
u should avoid adding clips to stage, instead u should use root

root.addChild(cont);

to unload just call

loader.unload();

if u want really fast reuse clips, u don’t have to unload them just remove loader from DisplayList. But remember that if u can’t see that content u shouldn’t forget that it is still playing.

removeChild(loader);
