Trying to essentially push details through classes - actionscript-3

Question

I am working on a game that creates three circles" red, green, and blue who have 3,2,1 health respectively. They get removed from the stage after their health reaches 0 and it is decremented by 1 per click. I am using a Main.mxml file then I have a Target.as file, as well as RedTarget.as, GreenTarget.as, and BlueTarget.as. My question is that I would like to set everything up in my Target.as file, then push the details such as color, health, and if they are dead or not through those functions. I am having trouble doing that though because I am not sure what I would need in the Target.as and then what I would need to code in each of the colored target files.
Here is my Target.as file:
package com.multiClicker {
//import the needed classes
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import spark.components.Image;
public class Target extends Image {
public function Target() {
//add event listeners
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
}
//sets the hp of the target
public function hp():Number {
return hp;
}
//get function that returns false if alpha is <= 0
public function dead():Boolean {
if(alpha <= 0){
return false;
}
return true;
}
//subtracts one from targets HP when clicked
public function onClick(e:MouseEvent = null):void {
//subtracts one from hp each click
hp --;
if(hp <=0) {
this.addEventListener(onEnterFrame);
}
}
//subtracts .1 from the classes alpha
public function onEnterFrame():void{
this.alpha =- .1;
}
//draws the target
public function drawTarget(color):void {
var circle:Shape = new Shape();
circle.graphics.beginFill(color);
circle.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,30);
}
}
}
and then my RedTarget.as file, which is the same as blue and green, except for that they are labeled as such in the variables:
package com.multiClicker {
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class RedTarget extends Target{
private var redHP:Number = 3;
private var redDead:Boolean = false;
private var redColor:String = "red";
public function RedTarget()
{
redHP = hp;
redDead = dead;
redColor = color;
//include the super function
super();
}
//subtracts one from targets HP when clicked
override public function onClick(e:MouseEvent=null):void {
super.onClick(e);
//push all to super
}
}
}
Any help on the issue would be great. I have been trying to figure it out throughout the day but have not figured it out.

Answer 1

Are you just asking how to pass variables in when you create the Target object?
public class Target extends Image {
public function Target(hp:Number, dead:Boolean, color:String) {
this.hp = hp;
this.dead = dead;
this.color = color;
}
}
Then you instantiate each target like this:
var redTarget:Target = new Target(3, false, "red");
var greenTarget:Target = new Target(2, false, "green");
etc...
