Adding parameters to dynamically created movie clips

When you create or duplicate a movie dynamically using the `MovieClip.attachMovie` and `MovieClip.duplicateMovie` methods, you can populate the movie clip with parameters from another object. The `initObject` parameter of the `attachMovie` and `duplicateMove` methods allows dynamically created movie clips to receive clip parameters. The `initObject` parameter is optional.

For more information, see `MovieClip.attachMovie` `and` `MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip``` in the ActionScript Dictionary.

To populate a dynamically created movie clip with parameters from a specified object:

| Use the following syntax with the attachMovie method:
| `myMovieClip`.attachMovie(`idName`, `newName`, `depth` [, `initObject`] )
| Use the following syntax with the duplicateMovie method:
| `myMovieClip`.duplicateMovie(`idName`, `newName`, `depth` [, `initObject`])
| The parameter `initObject` specifies the name of the object whose parameters you want to use to populate the dynamically created movie clip.
