you can use the as3 output from prefab as holder.
var mymanymanyMeshes:MyOutput : new Output();
myManyManyMeshes.meshes[0].material = myBetterMaterial;
or loop over the meshes
and compare names.
for(var i ...
if(name == myManyManyMeshes.meshes[i].name)
Prefab does output only unique names.
note that if you do use bitmapmaterial, it would be better to make a small
render at say 32x32
this way awd parser will make all the materials for you. You simply then to
swap bitmap instead of generating eveything by hand.

PS: --> dam, the f9 as3 is still outputing MatrixAway3d??? will be fixed next
