actionscript 3.0 help needed

Having some serious problems with unloading the external .swf movies I'm
using in my website. I have yet to find a solution for this and it's
down to crunch time so if anyone has any ideas I'm definitely open to
them (this is the same problem I had with Project #2 and I discussed
with Phil at that time). Here is the code I'm using to load the movies
when the link is clicked for the movie:

function link(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var linkLoad:Loader = new Loader();
linkLoad.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"));
addChild(linkLoad);
linkLoad.x = 150;
linkLoad.y = 200;
}

//DisplayObjectContainer.removeChild(linkLoad);


introtext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,link);
//ca.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,link);
cod5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,link);
eq2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,link);
WoW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,link);

introtext.buttonMode = true;
//ca.buttonMode = true;
cod5.buttonMode = true;
eq2.buttonMode = true;
WoW.buttonMode = true;


This is loading just fine but my problem lies in when you click another
link. If you click the introtext link it will play the movie but if you
don't wait for the movie to end and click the cod5 link the new movie
will load and superimpose itself over the introtext movie. This is very
frustrating! unloadMovie is not supported in AS3 and I've tried a
variety of level commands to remove the movie from level 0 of the
container. I'm really at a loss here and have found nothing through a
google search that has helped me.

I am using Flash CS4 and yes this is for my final but even the instructor does not know how to accomplish the unloading of the movies. Makes me kind of wonder.......

as you can see I've tried the "DisplayObjectContainer.removeChild(linkLoad);" that I've commented out of the script above and I also attempted "stage.removeChildAt(0);" which is the replacement for the unloadMovieNum(0) which was in AS2.0. If anyone has any ideas I would be eternally grateful!

Yours,
Jack

 

I have no idea if this will help Wraith, but understand your frustration... so maybe look at this or ask at the flash forum... my blatant bump *grins*
