Unloading a generic Movieclip completely

programming flash

So I thought all the errors in my site were gone . . . I have certain generic sounds that play in a various dynamic clips. When I unloaded them their timelines continue in the background and trigger sounds long after they are gone.

The only examples I can find of unloading all streams when unloading a clip specifically name the instances of the sounds and netStreams.

I need to just clear all aspects of these dynamic clips without specifically referencing the instance names of their sub properties.

This is the direction I’m going in:

var clipLoader:Loader;

function closeAllStreams(evt:Event) {
	clipLoader.SoundMixer.stopAll;
}

clipLoader.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, closeAllStreams);

function loadNextClip():void {
	if (clipLoader != null) {
		unloadClip();
	}
	clipLoader = new Loader();
	addChild(clipLoader);
	var clipName:URLRequest = new URLRequest(parent.nextClip);
	clipLoader.load(clipName);
	parent.transition_mc.gotoAndPlay("clear");
}

function unloadClip():void {

	var count:int = this.numChildren;
	for (var i:int = 0; i <count; i++) {
		this.removeChildAt(0);
		this.clipLoader.unload();
		//this.removeChild(clipLoader);
	}
}

Again, unloading a movie is a crucial part of Flash and Actionscripting. The lack of information out there on this is frightening.

PS the code above unloads the clip, but doesn’t destroy the clips timeline. I could simply stop the clip before unloading it. But I’m worried about that taking up too many resources.
