Trying to essentially push details through classes

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.

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...
