Using a button to open an SWF in the same player...

Question

Hello,
I seem to be having some trouble figuring out the proper kind of script that would allow me to use a button to call up and play a new SWF in the exisiting player (in this case, the projector). I am working on an interactive presentation which is now complete. However, I need a splash screen that opens on launch which offer different langauges. Each langauge has its own swf. I need a menu on the splash screen that the user can use to select their langauge by clicking the respective button that lanches that particular swf. Right now, I just need one button as the other langauge versions are still in production.
With that said, is there an easy way to launch an swf from the splash screen? I have tried a few different actionscripts but I seem to be always coming back to loadmovie script (which I havn't really mastered yet). My early attempts would load the new SWF but the current one stays in the player. It is kind of a mess.
Anyway, I am hoping there is a simpler option. I am a beginner at actionscript 3, so I am still figuring things out. I have worked with AS1 and AS2 and it seems those versions were linked swfs easier that AS3. I just want the button to leave the existing player and open the new swf (but leave the splash screen behind). This would function like website navigation, so I am not needing anything fancy. Most of the documentation I have read so far either assumes you want the swf to import and be part of the internal navigation or want multiple swfs loaded internally. That is definitely not what I want.
Anyway, thank you in advance for any help/insight.

Well, I think I got it working. The code I came up with seems a lot more simple than what I was experimenting with. I am pretty sure I did something earlier that was similar to this code but the current swf stayed with the player when the new one loaded, I am pretty sure the old swf is hiding underneath the new one but after some testing, the actual presentation is working as intended so I am waving the AS3 white flag and am accepting how this functions in its present state. I nearly gave myself a heart attack trying to get this simple function to work
Anyway, heres my "final" code. If anyone sees something that should be adjusted, please let me know.
play_iv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadmain);
function loadmain(event:MouseEvent):void {
            var prevu_english:Loader = new Loader();
            prevu_english.load(new URLRequest("assets/PreVu - English.swf"));
            addChild(prevu_english);
Also, Thankyou Ned. You pointed me in the right direction. If I didn't keep looking at the loader class, I probably would have spent days doing trial and error until I got somewhere.
