[ASK]how to remove object from display list and memory which added dynamicly

Question

Hi there everyone,i have a question which i hope you guys can help me with,so the question is :" how do we remove object( sprite which has an external swf as it's child ) from display and more importantly from memory yet we still can use the same variable to add  another object (yes another sprite like the one we removed yet has different content).., "i did tried the removeChildAt thing it did remove all the child from the display list but i still can hear sound from video running.here is small scale code of what i'm doing (sorry that i can only give you chunk code of loading and adding)// var SWFList:XMLList; //used to hold a list of all external swf source,atribute and etc// var totalSWF:int; //hold the total number of external swf there is to be loaded// var swfLoader:Loader; //instance of loader class used to load the external swffunction loadSWF():void{    for (var i:Number; i < totalSWF; i++ )    swfLoader = new Loader();    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE , onSWFLoadComplete);    swfLoader.load(new URLRequest(SWFList.@source));}function onSWFLoadComplete(e:Event):void{     this.stage.addChild(e.target.content);}and also if you can give an example of a good method of dynamicly adding object to the stage i would really appreciate it cause i suspect mine's are bad method to used.thanks everyone.

hi kglad tanks staying n replying in this thread.,

well i don't understand where to put swfLoader.unload(); and how things work with that because i just add all those external swf by one Loader (swfLoader) and after it's load complete i add it to the stage by using e.target.content and adding new line which is

swfLoader = null;

and how do i remove all eventListener of those external swf cause i did some searching with google and know that before removing the object we need to ensure that those object has no event listener attached to it..,

i tried your suggestion:

function clearScreen():void
{
    for(var i:int =0; i< stage.numChildren; i++)
    {
        stage.removeChildAt(i);
    }
    swfLoader.unload();
}

but it still leave the video player running..,

i'm really confused by this..,

if you were publishing for fp 10, just use unloadAndStop().

i assume you're not publishing for fp 10 so you should use something like:

function clearScreen():void
{
var mc:MovieClip=MovieClip(swfLoader.content);
mc.yourflvintheloadedswf.stop();
mc.mcinyourloadedswfthathasalistener.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,whateverF);
//etc
swfLoader.unload();
}
