Very misleading title. "instanceof" like "is" is an operator which lets you test whether an instance is an instance of a particular class.

For your question, the answer depends on what you mean by "swap". Do you have another instance already that you want to put in place, or just something in the library?

If you already have it, you can simply remove the first item with removeChild, set the other one's transform to the same, and then add it with addChild.

If you don't already have it, you'll have to create it from the library before adding.

the following assumes that you want to swap parta out and partb in, and they are in a movieclip with instancename container.

var trans:Transform = parta.transform;
partb.transform = trans;
container.removeChild(parta);
container.addChild(partb);
