</div>

is it possible to write a function to move an object and then call that function on a clip event

for instance

function (bounce){  
script;  
script;  
}

and then call it by saying

on(mouseOver){  
this.bounce;  
}

or something like that

an example of how this might work would be greatly appreciated

thanks
