You can assign values to private and/or public variables of the class
using the 4th argument of attachMovie. Just read the API
documentation:
public attachMovie(id:String, name:String, depth:Number,
[initObject:Object]) : MovieClip
initObject can be predefined or used on the fly, which looks like:
_root.attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth, {myString: "Hello
World", _x: 20});
This is not the same as using params in the constructor, but these
variables are set before the constructor is called, so you can use the
values within the constructor, which is nearly the same and works fine
for me.

this indeed works, but then i can't pass any values to the constructor.
Is there any way to attachMovie and at the same time pass values to it?
I supose I can always refer to it afterwards on the time line and call a
custom function... but it would be nice to use the constructor's
functionality.
I had hoped I could generate new instances just by calling a constructor
instead of attaching it to something; but i guess logically i it needs to be
attached to be "on the timeline". Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
