i have three movieclips in my library(Ground1, Ground2, Ground3).

depending on the game level i want to use a different one but i reference the ground movieclip through out the game. how can i declair the variable(ie  
var ground:Ground1;) so i can set ground to a different library clip like this:

if(level == 1){  
ground = new Ground1();  
}  
if(level == 2){  
ground = new Ground2();  
}  
if(level == 3){  
ground = new Ground1();  
}  
ground.scaleX = 10;  
ground.scaleY = 10;  
worldSprite.addChild(ground);
