Hi I have the idea of scripting animations, placing them inside a function, so then I can recall them whenever I want :thumb:

```auto
function eyesleft(){
eyes._x=0
eyes._x=-100
}

```

one question is I need some kind of delay timer to make the animation smooth, otherwise the animations would be all jumpy

set interval seems a bit jumpy \<

I guess another important question is would this work?

\*\*thanks for any insight \*\*
