Ok here is a very simple question… but i havent found out how this thing works yet…

i know about doing like this:

function\_name = function(){  
bla bla  
bla  
};

but what does this do? I’ve seen people code like that:

function\_name = function(some text in here? - what does it do?){  
bla bla  
bla  
};

i wanna be better at flash coding, but I feel like I have alot of limitations right now…
