So I have a movieclip that I want to play nice with my class file. So I set the linkage and all that and it works. But, my initialization function gets called with no parameters, because I have not set any. How do I do that with this method?

I’ve tried something like:

```auto
import tab;
tab1_mc = new tab("left", 5, 55, "testclip.swf", 0);

```

And that sets the parameters, but not before the linkage on the MovieClip fires. Any thoughts on how to get the best of both worlds?
