To make sure the complexities of my project are not inerfaring with the code you gave i created a test and extracted your code in and made it so that every five second a new movie clip is automaticcally loaded. it does load but it does not unload. I do see the trace statement which tells me that the code ran but it does not produce the results i need, which is to unload the old movie. It does do a new load without removing old movie resulting in multpiple instances of the movies playing, here as you can see nothing has changed except how the movies get called.
var swfVideoURL:Array = ["flash/shopping.swf","flash/alltours.swf"];
var numPics:Number=swfVideoURL.length;
var nextPic:Number=0;
var nextImageLoadInterval:uint=0;
var myImageLoader:Loader;
var myImageRequest:URLRequest;
var theImagePath:String;
//initialize theimagepath
theImagePath = "flash/shopping.swf";
loadTheMovie(theImagePath);
function loadTheMovie(theImagePath):void{
if(myImageLoader){
if(myImageLoader.content){
trace("attempting to unload");
myImageLoader.unloadAndStop();
}
if(myImageLoader.stage){
trace("attempting to remove from memory");
detailsMovieClip_mc.details_video_holder.dynamicVideoHolder.removeChi ld(myImageLoader);
}
}
myImageLoader = new Loader();
myImageRequest= new URLRequest(theImagePath);
myImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showM eTheVideo);
myImageLoader.load(myImageRequest);
detailsMovieClip_mc.details_video_holder.dynamicVideoHolder.addChild( myImageLoader);
}
function showMeTheVideo(evt:Event):void{
nextImageLoadInterval = setInterval (loadTheMovieStart, 5000);
}
function loadTheMovieStart():void{
nextPic=(nextPic+1)%numPics;
theImagePath = swfVideoURL[nextPic];
trace(theImagePath)
loadTheMovie(theImagePath);
}
