Trying to recreate loadmovie with As3......addchild problems.

2009-07-04

I want to load in external swfs into an mc on the root called 'holder'.

In As2, I would just do loadMovie("whatever.swf", this.holder);

And if I loaded another swf into that same holder it would replace the contents with the new swf.

But now, I'm trying As3 and doing...
var i =new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest("contact.swf"));
this.holder.addChild(i)

When I repeat this code, for another external swf, I want it to replace the first one, but it appears to not be doing that. I fear that this addChild, is simply adding more mc's within my main holder mc.

So I don't know how to match the functionality that I liked from As2. Help?

Take a look at the Flash help documents and read up on removeChild() and removeChildAt(). You can use either of those to get rid of the first mc and then load in the second.
