Stuck on my basic Action script. Help Please

Alright I'm going to try to explain what I want to do the best way possible. I have a movie clip of a circle, and when you run your mouse over it I want it to grow and shrink. I also want it to continue to shrink after I move the mouse away from it.
I started working on it myself and I think i'm getting closer to getting my effect correct.

Right now i'm working with two movie clips, the static one and the animated on (which will shrink). I gave the instance names

static_mc
over_mc

//current code for the static movie clip

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
_root.over_mc.loadMovie();
{ play();
}
}

Is this even near correct for what I want?

I would go a gotoAndPlay(3) Where 3 is the frame where that animated clip is.

So basically, you'd have something like

static_mc.onRollOver() { gotoAndPlay(3); }

//not sure if thats the exact actionscript, i havent opened flash in weeks, im rust lol.

Probably meant:

Code:

static_mc.onRollOver [color=blue][b]= function()[/b][/color] { gotoAndPlay(3); }

When I tired the code you provided the de bugger spit this at me.

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=circle, Frame=1: Line 2: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
static_mc.onRollOver = function() { gotoAndPlay(1); }

I'll be back after I take some action scripting tutorials :P

I don't know Flash at all. I just know ActionScript because I know JavaScript and they're both based on the standardized version: ECMAScript. Based on that error message I could only guess that you might try changing onRollOver to onClipEvent.
