I have got 2 files \*\*main.swf, \*\ ***picture.swf**

My aim is to load picture.swf in main.swf and than close it using button that is place in picture.swf

AS code in **main.swf** looks like:

var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (“picture.swf”);  
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
imageLoader.x = 352;  
imageLoader.y = 144;  
addChild(imageLoader);

function addClick(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);  
}  
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addClick);

In **picture.swf** i create a button close\_btn and here i have no idea what to do next …  
i wonder to use lightbox but there are problems with it as well so I AM BARGING YOU FOR A HELP GUYS 😕
