Movie Clip - load image

Question

Hi,I have a function when a button is clicked an image is loaded into the movie clip:          var imageLoader:Loader;          function loadImage(url:String):void {                    imageLoader = new Loader();                    imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));                    imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageLoading);                    imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);          }          loadImage("images/" + pic + ".jpg");            function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {  movieclip_mc.addChild(imageLoader);          }Is there a way I can remove the previous image from the movie clip before loading the next one?  - so replacing the image with the new one when clicked. (the movie clip starts of empty)Hope some one can help.Looking forward to hearing from you.Many thanks

If you use the same Loader rather than creating a new one you can just unload that loader using the unload() method. You can create the Loader outside the function and even addChild() it to the movieclip before anything else.

var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

movieclip_mc.addChild(imageLoader);

function loadImage(url:String):void {

imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));

imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageLoading);

imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

}

loadImage("images/" + pic + ".jpg");

function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {

// use this for something else or eliminate it

}
