Hello all,

I’m having problems loading a new XML file.  
I have a single XML loading into an MC initially.  
Then when I try to load in a new file with a button - the previously loaded XML file doesn’t want to leave. Maybe it’s just too happy where it is? ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/1800/8c9841d03b4dffbb.gif)

```auto

var imagelibrary = new XML();
imagelibrary.ignoreWhite = true;
imagelibrary.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
       gallery_mc.loadPic(0);
   } else {
       error_txt.text = "Error retrieving file.";
   }
};
imagelibrary.load("imagelibrary.xml");

```

Here’s me trying to load a new file.

```auto

button1.onRelease = function() {
     imagelibrary.load("newXMLfile.xml");
}

```

I’ve tried removing the movie clip as well as deleting the xml… no luck.  
When i remove the movie clip and try to load up a new file - the same file comes back! ☹

Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!
