Hey the easiest way is to use attachMovie for the entire thing. When you make a
call like...
myMovie.attachMovie("banana");
and then call later
myMovie.attachMovie("apple");
the content in myMovie will be replace with what ever you are telling it to
attach this will keep from the banana staying in the file when you call the
apple the apple will completely erase all content in myMovie and replace it
with the apple.
I hope this all makes sense.

Subject: [Flashcoders] setting a movieclips symbol
hiya -
would appreciate some help on basic AS movieclip coding.
I am trying to change the graphic that a movieclip displays, eg change
it to point to a different library symbol.
i cant find a method something like:
movieClip.setSymbol( "symbolName" );
do i have to use movieClip.attach() to some kind of base item, then
destroy them (remove) them later and attach again something else to
switch to a new item?
Also, myself i have to keep track of this depth parameter? (this reminds
me of doing my own memory management in C decades ago).
I must be missing some basic function, this seems very convoluted.
Thanks!
