Error in my removeAllChildren function

I thought i should be smart and made/copy a removeAllChildren function which worked nice. But now I get "Error #2069: The Loader class does not implement this method" If i understanded it correctly so is it because I have a loaded picture in a Sprite. (But I'm almost sure it worked with the same type of pictures when I build the function as now.) I cant figure out how to go around it. Think catch error should work somehow, but havn't succeded with it. Or is something else I doing wrong?

This is the picture in R class

public static var picture:Class;
    [Embed(source="picture.png")]

The child:

private var bg:Sprite=new R.picture;
canvas.addchild(bg);

My removechildrenfunction:

public static function removeAllChildren(doc:*):void {
while(doc.numChildren){
  if (doc.getChildAt(0) is DisplayObjectContainer)
        removeAllChildren(doc.getChildAt(0));
            doc.removeChildAt(0);


                }

        }

you are sending removeAllChildren function parameter typed as Loader

from Loader Reference

The Loader class overrides the following methods that it inherits, because a Loader object can only have one child display object—the display object that it loads. Calling the following methods throws an exception: addChild(), addChildAt(), removeChild(), removeChildAt(), and setChildIndex(). To remove a loaded display object, you must remove the Loader object from its parent DisplayObjectContainer child array.

public static function removeAllChildren(doc:*):void {
    if(doc is Loader && doc.parent != null)
    {
        doc.parent.removeChild(doc);
        return;
    }
    while(doc.numChildren){
        if (doc.getChildAt(0) is DisplayObjectContainer){
            removeAllChildren(doc.getChildAt(0));
        }
        doc.removeChildAt(0);
       }
 }
