Correct answer jpsoul
addChild(new movieClipClassName()); // where movieClipClassName is the name of the exported class in your library

jpsouls' example wouldn't do all of the things you have in attachMovie. If you have a Library thing set for sharing, using the name "mc", then these lines would do all that your attachMovie did:

var newmc:mc = new mc();
newmc.name = "new_mc";
addChildAt(newmc,1);

Quite often you only want the movieclip to be on top of everything, is which case you can say:

addChild(newmc);

which would be like using getNextHighestDepth() for the layer number in AS2.
