Susan,
I suspect that you'll also have to use the removeChild() method to remove
the loader from the display list.
removeChild(loader);
Otherwise the display list will still have a reference to the loader object
and stop the object being garbage collected.

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
}

Thanks Paul,
I rewrote the code, so its easier to read:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("hotword.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
function displayHotword(evt:Event):void {
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
loader.x = 100;
loader.y = 150
}
btClassified.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayHotword);
My question is, how do I control the instance that is now on the
stage?
Say I wanted to create a function that would change the opacity of
that
movie or something like that. How do I reference that item. In the old
flash, I would create a movie clip that would hold the swf and
reference
that instance name. With this new method, I have no instance name to
reference.
Also, I can't seem to "talk" to the file. If they click a button
within
the file (the close button), I want the popup removed from the stage.
Right now, I am hiding (visibility = false) the clip and putting the
code to hide it within the loaded swf. I am not communicating with
the
clip from the parent file.
Any direction you could provide is very much appreciated!
Thank you!
Susan
