Thanks David for the tip.
  
  I would like the artist to set certain values, so ideally, a method  that 
doesn't require them to mess with the script window is the best.
  
  Would it be ok if I add parameters to the Component Definition?   Behind the 
scene what is the difference between a movieclip vs a  movieclip with component 
definition set?  It seems like both  behave like a regular mc anyways...except 
that one you can compile into  SWC.
  
  Another question I have is that component can also be associated with  AS 2 
as well, what's the effects of setting AS2 there alongside with  AS2 in linkage 
property?

want to pass in, like:

class Test extends MovieClip
{
      var passedIn;

      //...
}

Then, on the stage, select your movieclip instance, and bring up the
actionscript window (press F9), and enter the code:

onClipEvent(load)
{
 passedIn = 123;
}

NOTE: Passed in variables will not be availabe until 1 frame after the
component loads (I think), so either don't use them in the
constructor, or put a 1 frame delay.
