you can put the default value into the parameters in the constructor so:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
public class MyButton extends MovieClip{
public var buttonLabel:String;
public function MyButton (buttonLabel:String = "GO"){
this.buttonLabel = buttonLabel;
btnLabel.text = buttonLabel;
}
}
}
