I dont really know how you called everything but here?s one way to handle
your problem:

yourImage.onRollOut = function () {
    unloadMovie(whatever you want);

};

Your pictures i cached in the users webbrowser even if you unload the content.
So you don?t really need to preload you pictures :-)

I hope this guide you further.

Here?s a another way to solve the problem:
It?s more technical and it really dont preload any images (sorry for that)
But it maybe guide you further:

//Create a virtual empty movieclip
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_gallery_box", this.getNextHighestDepth());
//Flash have to be know that all the cotent has been loaded before any other
code is executed
//therefore I add a Listener
var myListener:Object = new Object();
//When all the content is loaded then what..
myListener.onLoadInit = function(mcContent:MovieClip):Void {
    trace(mcContent._name);
}
//Movieclip loader + instance
var mc1Loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

//EVENT HANDLER
this.yourBtn_mc.onRelease = function(){
    //Loading a content
    mc1Loader.loadClip("pic1_thumb.jpg", mc_gallery_box);
    mc1Loader.addListener(myListener);
   
}

this.btn1_mc.onRollOut = function(){
    mc1Loader.unloadClip(mc_gallery_box);

}
