Your function cracked me up! LOL! Thanks! I will give it a shot.
I just added the following to unload the movie clip:
function unloadHotword(evt:Event):void {
loader.unload();
}
loader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadHotword);
It seemed to work well. :)
Now I just need to figure out how to incorporate my array of movie
clips! :)
Thanks!

I think you want to listen for the event of the loader being loaded &
then
use .content for it.
loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, iAmLoaded_Drunk );
function iAmLoaded_Drunk( e:Event ):void
{
var lo:Loader = e.target as Loader;
lo.content.alpha = 20; // what you actually loaded
}
