loader, unloading in AS3

[lmaclanphere]

hi all

very basic question:

if I load a swf using a loader, and that loaded swf covers my original load button, can I create a new button in the loaded swf that will be able to unload it?  in other words, can a swf unload itself?

thanks!

sure, add the button and have it:

myLoadedSwf.parent.removeChild(myLoadedSwf);

thanks for the quick help

cheers

looks like I need a bit more info...when I follow zeroskillz tip:

myLoader.parent.removeChild(myLoader);

I get an "access of undefined property 'myLoader'" when I publish the (child) swf

and that swf doesn't work then, once loaded....

any ideas?

thanks again

....well, here's how I just got it to work--but it's not elegant:

this.parent.parent.removeChildAt(this.parent.parent.numChildren-1);

that's ugly!  and I imagine, not very flexible... any suggestions?
