How to stop a sound from loading ? my_sound.unload or something ?

Question

I want the sound to stop loading when I press the stop
button, I have:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(_root);
my_sound.onLoad = function() {
my_sound.start();
preload_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_sound.loadSound("some_sound.mp3", false);
stop_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_sound.stop();
Say I click the "load" button, the sound starts loading, when
I press the "stop" button the sound should stop playing but I also
want it to stop loading, the sound keeps loading from given URL, it
loads in background and making network traffic. I can only fix this
by giving my sound an empty sound file to load, but it must be some
other way, right? Something like my_sound.unload ?
Thank you.
Adrian.

Yeah, I remember someone posted that solution a long time
ago. It seems if you load a file with the same name the cache
doesn't
know any better and adjusts the download size to the smaller
one. Maybe it's a good way to do it! Could it be a way to remove an
mp3 from someone's cache after it plays? hmmmm Will have to
do more testing.
