OK, off the top of me head!
the easiest way would be to just have all your assets in a external
castlib(s) & just copy a new one(s) over the old.
however, if you really want to "swap & save" then here's one way:
1 - have a dummy castlib attached to your movie
2 - have the projector look for a castlib named something,
updater.cst, every time it starts
3 - if it finds it swap, the dummy for the new one
4 - copy the assets to the locations in your movie you desire
5 - save the movie and/or the castlibs containing the newly updated
assets
NOTE - to do this you cannot be using protected movies or castlibs.
personally I like just swapping external castlibs.
