[Flashcoders] instancing my own components (still new to AS3)

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

Hi list...

What exactly is the AS3 equivalent of making a simple component,
creating a component definition, and attachMovie with the {} holding the
params?

I can't get this to work:

package {
        import flash.display.MovieClip;
        import flash.text.*;
        public class MyButton extends MovieClip{
                public var buttonLabel:String;
                public function MyButton (buttonLabel:String){
                        this.buttonLabel = buttonLabel;
                        btnLabel.text = buttonLabel;
                }
        }
}

The component definition has one parameter: 
Var: buttonLabel, default value:"Go", type:list

I'm trying to instance a movie clip that contains instances of this
variable.  I get various compiler errors when that parent clip is on the
stage.
Argument Error 1063 (Argument Count Mismatch) expected 1, got 0, when
instancing a movieclip that contains these components.  But in parent
movie clip, I am setting the params on the stage.

Thanks,
- Michael M.
