It's not that difficult if you do it right.
First, I'm not a fan of timeline code except for defining sections, such as
stop on a keyframe, and minor control commands like gotoAndStop and
gotoAndPlay. The rest I like to do in an external ActionScript file.
I haven't used the Flash IDE in 3-4 years--I use Flex and FlashBuilder
almost exclusively now--but let's see what I can remember.
First, when you create the movie clip, click Export for ActionScript.
Let's say your mc is called movingSprite. It will have a class name of
movingSprite. You can change that if you want.
If you already have the mc in the library, right-click and choose
properties. That will bring up the same dialog--check Export for
ActionScript.
In the Properties tab (often called the Property Inspector), declare a
document class. That just means the class that will run when you launch the
movie. Let's call it myDocClass.
Now create the document class. Choose File - New... and choose
ActionScript Class. Name it myDocClass, and Flash will create a new
actionScript class file. Create another class file and name it
movingSprite.as.
Now you can create an instance of the movie clip and assign it variables. I
wouldn't do that in the document class, though. I would declare them in the
class file.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson

How can I create a variable in a dynamic object?
For example, if I had a movie clip in the library, I could open it up and
on the first frame I could give it:
var velocityX:Number = Math.random()*10-10;
I could then refer to mc.velocityX;
How can I create that variable on an object create in actionscript?
