Removal of Mc from 5000 fla automate help!

Hi,

I need to remove a movieClip from multiple swf and fla if possible. The Mc has 3 different name as it changed from some fla to the next but it defo has only 3 names. is it possible to automate this removal from all the flas.

There would be anywhere between 1000 - 5000 flas and swfs in different folders.

the steps required are:
open fla
open library
delete a Mc (loop or something that will look for the 3 Mc names and delete on the spot)
export swf
save and close the fla

I was thinking maybe on an apple machine and use applescript. is there applications out there that can help me?

thanks for looking.
