How to tell who is on the Stage?

Question

How can I tell which movie currently is on the Stage, to be
able to remove
it?
For example, I have 3 buttons on the stage:
button "Banana"
button "Apple"
button "Orange"
When I press "Apple", the movie clip "ApplePie" is attached
to the movie
container on the stage:
_root.Banana.onRelease = function(){
_root.MovieContainer.attachMovie("ApplePie","ApplePie",1,
{_x:0, _y:0});
Now, if I press Orange, I want to remove previous movie clip
from the stage
and attach new - "OrangePie".
But how can I know what movie clip is currently on, to be
able to remove it?
I may have 50 buttons, and I can't know which of them was
pressed
previously..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
B.

Thanks :)
I didn't know that loading another movie would remove
previously loaded..
