This code may help you:

package {

public class Names extends MovieClip
{
   private var name:String ;

   public function Names(name:String)
    {
      this.name = name ;
      this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doThis);
    }

    public function doThis(event:Event):void
    {
      trace(this.name);
    }
}
}

All functions, that are called after events being dispatched accept only 1 parameter:Event.

All you do is just use instance variables. Good luck, hope it helps :)
