Is the away to create functions and apply it to movie clips for example, if I have four movie clips home, visit, products, contact us how could I when I rollover home make it enlarge and the others get smaller and fade slightly. this is the code I have now.  
Say I write  
enlarge = function () {  
this.\_xscale = 200;  
this.\_yscale = 200;  
};  
and  
shirnk = function () {  
this.\_xscale = 50;  
this.\_yscale = 50;  
this.\_alpha =25;  
};  
how would I apply it to the script below to shorten it.

home.onRollOver = function() {  
this.\_xscale = 200;  
this.\_yscale = 200;  
visit.\_xscale = 50;  
visit.\_yscale = 50;  
visit.\_alpha = 25;  
products.\_xscale = 50;  
products.\_yscale = 50;  
products.\_alpha = 25;  
contact.\_xscale = 50;  
contact.\_yscale = 50;  
contact.\_alpha = 25;  
};  
home.onRollOut = function() {  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
this.\_yscale = 100;  
visit.\_xscale = 100;  
visit.\_yscale = 100;  
visit.\_alpha = 100;  
products.\_xscale = 100;  
products.\_yscale = 100;  
products.\_alpha = 100;  
contact.\_xscale = 100;  
contact.\_yscale = 100;  
contact.\_alpha = 100;  
};
