Image gallery not removing previous image

Question

Hi,
I have an image gallery but I can't seem to get the previous image removed. I have two functions:
[AS]function clearLoader():void {
try {
  var li:LoaderInfo = slideLoader.contentLoaderInfo;
  if(li.childAllowsParent && li.content is Bitmap){
   (li.content as Bitmap).bitmapData.dispose();
} catch(e:*) {}
}[/AS]
And
[AS]while(currentContainer.numChildren)
var obj:DisplayObject =  currentContainer.getChildAt(0) as DisplayObject;
if (obj is Bitmap) {
  Bitmap(obj).bitmapData.dispose();
  currentContainer.removeChild(obj);
} else if (obj  is MovieClip) {
  currentContainer.removeChild(obj);
}[/AS]
But in some way not the previous image is removed, but the one before that. Annoying, because if image 1 is larger than image 2, image 1 stays on the background. It is only when loading image 3 the first image is removed from the stage. Any advice?
Thanks!

Hi,
1. With the switchSlide() function:
function switchSlide(intSlide:int):void {
 if(!Tweener.isTweening(currentContainer)) {
  if(slideTimer.running)
   slideTimer.stop();
  intCurrentSlide = intSlide;
  if(currentContainer == sprContainer2)
   currentContainer = sprContainer1;
  else
   currentContainer = sprContainer2;
  currentContainer.alpha = 0;
  mcSlideHolder.swapChildren(sprContainer2, sprContainer1);
  clearLoader();
  slideLoader = new Loader();
  slideLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fadeSlideIn);
  slideLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, showProgress);
  var  unesc_xmlSlideshow:XML = new XML(unescape(xmlSlideshow));
  slideLoader.load(new URLRequest(unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@src));
  mcInfo.lbl_description.text = unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@title;
  mcInfo.lbl_artist.text = unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@artist;
  strLink           = unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@link;
  strTarget          = unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@target;
  mcInfo.mcDescription.lbl_description.htmlText = unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@desc;
  mcInfo.lbl_count.text = " Slide " + (intCurrentSlide + 1) + " / " + intSlideCount2;
/AS
2. No images from other domains... just the ones on my webserver.
