I am using the folowing as on a movie clip to scale it:  
[AS]onClipEvent(load){  
targe\_width = \_width;  
targe\_height = \_height;  
}  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_width = \_width += (targe\_width - \_width)/3.6  
\_height = \_height += (targe\_height - \_height)/3.6  
}[/AS]

this as works fine but i have 30 clips that i want to apply it too. how can i turn this into a function i.e  
[AS]function scale(targe\_width, targe\_height);  
[/AS]

so on each clip i can invoke the function by calling something like  
[AS] scale(50, 50); [/AS]

im sure its pretty easy does anyone have any ideas?
