This code is to turn an MC into a button with actionscript. But I have about 10 buttons and it seems ridiculous to use this code 10 times. Can I declare it as a function and pass it the names I want?

I understand that the following code is not correct as far as syntax goes but that is what I want to achieve. Does anyone know how to do it?

function buttonCode() {  
\_root. **enterHere** Buttontton.onRollOver = function() {  
if(\_root.currentlyLoaded != “ **enterHere** ”){  
\_root. **enterHere** Buttontton.gotoAndPlay(“over”); } }  
\_root. **enterHere** Buttontton.onRollOut = function() {  
if(\_root.currentlyLoaded != “ **enterHere** ”){  
\_root. **enterHere** Buttontton.gotoAndPlay(“getBack”); } }  
\_root. **enterHere** Buttontton.onRelease = function() {  
if(\_root.currentlyLoaded != “ **enterHere** ”){  
\_root. **enterHere** Buttontton.gotoAndPlay(“down”);  
\_root.currentlyLoaded = “ **enterHere** ”;  
\_root.clearButton();  
} }  
}

buttonCode(enterHere = main);  
buttonCode(enterHere = bio);  
buttonCode(enterHere = contact);  
// etc…
