[flexcoders] How can I stop my HTTPService?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone,

I have an HTTPService that I load in a module. When I unload the module 
the HTTPService keeps working...

This is my HTTPService:
<mx:HTTPService url="test.php" method="POST" id="rate" useProxy="false" 
result="getRate(event)" fault="FaultHandler()" showBusyCursor="true"/>
 
I start my HTTPService with the following command:
rate.send();

What command can I use to kill the HTTPService when I unload my module?

Thanks.
