It certainly is.  One thing that will matter is whether or not all the 
images are the same size.  Another thing that will matter is if you have 
all the images in advance or are importing them on the fly.

If importing, use 'importFileInto' to get the image into a castmember.  If 
the placeholder castmember is on stage, then it should update automatically.

If not importing, and you have the sprite already on stage with the 
placeholder, use 'set the member of sprite' to set it to whatever new 
castmember you want.  If images are different sizes, you'll also need 'set 
the rect of sprite' to change its dimensions.
