i have a simple navigation panel and i noticed that they all pretty much have the same actionscript guiding them, but my actions frame looks like this:

```auto
a1.buttonText.buttonText.text = "HOME"
a1.onRollOver = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(2)
 kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
 kirupaSound.attachSound("blip");
 kirupaSound.start(0,0)
}
a1.onRollOut = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(6)
}
a2.buttonText.buttonText.text = "FORUMS"
a2.onRollOver = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(2)
 kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
 kirupaSound.attachSound("blip");
 kirupaSound.start(0,0)
}
a2.onRollOut = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(6)
}
a3.buttonText.buttonText.text = "CONTACT"
a3.onRollOver = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(2)
 kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
 kirupaSound.attachSound("blip");
 kirupaSound.start(0,0)
}
a3.onRollOut = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(6)
}
a4.buttonText.buttonText.text = "LINKS"
a4.onRollOver = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(2)
 kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
 kirupaSound.attachSound("blip");
 kirupaSound.start(0,0)
}
a4.onRollOut = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(6)
}
a5.buttonText.buttonText.text = "APPLY"
a5.onRollOver = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(2)
 kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
 kirupaSound.attachSound("blip");
 kirupaSound.start(0,0)
}
a5.onRollOut = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(6)
}
a6.buttonText.buttonText.text = "FAQ"
a6.onRollOver = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(2)
 kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
 kirupaSound.attachSound("blip");
 kirupaSound.start(0,0)
}
a6.onRollOut = function() {
 this.gotoAndPlay(6)
}

```

is there a way to consolidate this code so that it still effects all the buttons?
