[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] newsContentCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
easeType = mx.[COLOR=#000080]transitions[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]easing[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]Elastic[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]easeOut[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] begin = [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]end[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]70[/COLOR];

[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] mc1 = newsTitle;  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] mc2 = nContent;
