this might be confusing so bare with me,  
I have a movie clip containing five letters (which i made into movie clips) all moving on guide layers in different directions. what i going for is that when you role over one of the five letters they will stop where they are on the screen. ive tried the:  
bla.onRollOver = function(){  
this.stop();  
}  
bla.onRollOut = function(){  
this.play();  
}  
but i might be placing the code in the wrong place, or maybe it doesnt even apply to what im trying to do…  
thanks for your time.  
please help

it should be in a frame on the timeline.  
You have to give the movieclips names…in this case “bla”
