How to load and unload Multiple External SWF

Question

hello there,
i need help to figuring out how to load and also unload(removing) multiple external SWF.
so here is what i;m trying to do,
i want to load multiple external SWF and play it on my main SWF now i hove no problem with just loading multiple SWF and placing it in the display list .The problem came up when i tried removing those loaded SWF from the display list ,The problem exist because i have no way to refer to what i have loaded and placed on the display list,
i used a single loader instance to load all that external swf,
i do know that we have to remove all the event listener related to the external SWF that we want to remove and for this purpose i have crated a function called destroy which the main objective for this function is to remove all event listener inside the swf and also isolating all variable so it would be eligible for garbage collecting, here is what the code look like:
// Create this in every object you use
public function destroy():void
     // Remove event listeners
     // Remove anything in the display list
     // Clear the references to other objects, so it gets totally isolated
sorry it just a kind of pseudocode cause this function will customize with it's own property i did this just for the purpose of simplicity and easy understanding..,
so now back to main problem how should i solve this problem??
i tried used an arraf to save all the loaded swf
     the array is just used to save the what the loader is loading but the adding to display method is using
movieClipActAsContainer.addChild(e.target.content); //the event is from the Event.COMPLETE
but i have a hard time using that arrya back and matching it to the one i got from the display list.
please do help me,
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated,
and if can pleas show me a source code or pseudocode of what you're suggesting to me cause my english is not so fluent yet,
thanks before.

Hey EI,
I had done this kind of project recently and for loading and unloading different swfs. I had used loaders specific to that filename and for removing I had used a single movieclip instance name and on clicking that specific loader request name that needs to be removed will be requested from the specific function. As mentioned below
Loading SWF:
===============================
swfLoaderIndia.load(swfRequestIndia);//This will load the request
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).addChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will load swf on stage
or else
Stage.addChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Unloading SWF
=====================================
If you are inside a movieclip while requesting use below code
MovieClip(this.root).removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);//This will unload swf on stage
or else
Stage.removeChild(swfLoaderIndia);
Above code will be in specific function which will be requested when the loading and unloading is required.
I hope this helps you in your project.
