I have a movie where i have small clips which has to perform the same function on a mouseevent. Instead of attaching the same script in all the movieclips, i want to put them in a common function and just call that function everytime.  
Is this possible in actionscript?  
if so how?  
Any help on this is appreciated.  
Thanks

Hey rasarasan,

Well, yep, this can be done! try something like:

```php
function Link(){
	//ur commands!
}
button.onRelease = Link;

```

hehehe, i just started here…  
well, i think in this case you have to use functions with arguments:

function links(link){  
trace("This button will go to the link " + link);  
}

button.onRelease = link(file1.swf);

i’m a newby, so i don’t know if it is 100% correct.

Why are you going that further when u simply can use getURL!

i think she wanted that thing:

```php
stop();
function links(){
getURL("http://www.kirupaforum.com/");
}

button.onRelease = links

```

The Title was “Common function???”, remember 🙂
