Exchanging cast members
The Exchange Cast Members command changes the cast member associated with a particular sprite to the currently
selected cast member. In other words, it replaces the member reference for the selected sprite with the member
reference of the selected cast member.
This command modifies the selected sprites in the Score; it doesn't modify cast members. The command is enabled
only when both a sprite and a cast member are selected.
If multiple cast members are selected, the command associates only the first selected cast member with the sprite.
You can execute this command while the movie is playing.
