You have a couple different options.
You could use a closure function for the marker click, which 'knows'
about the various variables you require. (Don't really recommend this
option).
You could create a Dictionary or Object which acts like a map to map
the marker to the various variables.
You could extend the Marker class and override the constructor to take
in and store the extra parameters. In the click handler you would cast
it to your new marker class.
I would recommend using the dictionary approach.
Something like:
var markerMap:Object = new Object();
... create markers
markerMap[newMarker] = [variable1, variable2, variable3];
...
public function markerClickEvent(event:MapMouseEvent):void
{
var marker:Marker = event.target as Marker;
var vars:Array = markerMap[marker];
}
