Hi, here's a tip about replacing images if you didn't know:

You can drag an image out from the Library onto the screen area and when the one you want to replace has a blue box around it, let go; this replaces the image of the actor but not the Rules in the actor. One thing to watch out though is if the new image is a different size than the one you've replaced, it'll be distorted/wrong size so remember to go into the actor's rules and resize the actor to this new image's dimensions.

Also, when on the rules editor page of the actor, you can drag an image from the library and drop it into the Preview image at the top there.

You can drag an image to a blank actor in the Inspector not only from the library but from your desktop as well. If you do drag it straight onto the actor in the inspector this will change any of its prototypes already on screen to that image as well. If there is already an image in the actor in the Inspector, dragging another onto it will change it to the new image, and once again this change will be made on all of the prototype actors already on-screen.

Hope that helps someone out to save some time at some stage. :-)
