Where do you declare functions?

[helxliankid]

I've read a couple tutorials about functions, but I am wondering, does it matter where you declare the function? Is it in the keyframe, movieclip, or button?

it does matter because if you the frame to (goto and play)(3) then it wont do it but if you set a button to do the same function it will do it if you put the AS in right

In Actionscript (at least 2.0), unlike C, you only need to define the function, not declaring.

And yes, it does matter where you define it. No matter where you put the definition the function can be accessed, but on the main timeline is most often the best choice though.
