How To issue movieClips with variables

Hi, im wondering if its possible, to be able to issue variables to movieClips, thats is, lets say i create an emptyMovieClip, is it possible to declare/create/give its own set of variables to that new empty movieClip?

e.g _createEmptyMovieClip(“abc”,_root.getNextHighestDepth());
//give abc variables age:Number, Address:String etc…

would appreciate any feed back.

thanks.
