In IB I can set the identifier of a UIBarButtonItem to 'play' which adds an image of a play button (right-pointing triangle).

Is there a way to change this image programatically? I want to change it to 'pause' when the play button is pressed.

I know you can initialize a UIBarButtonItem with an identifier but I've yet to find a way to change it after it's been initialized. Is this even possible?

The only thing I can think of is to remove the old button and initialize a new one in its place, but this hardly seems efficient.

Any thoughts?
