Where do I put functions?

[piratefish]

I have this on my main timeline under my actions layer. I put it the function

function=ownership(blah:blah){
do this do that
}

you get the point, but I also have a stop() on that same frame. When I go to play the movie, that frame just wizzes by and it should be stopping. It never happened until I threw the function into there, where should I put my function to be used?

function ownership(blah:blah){

[Gibberish]

you can also try:


ownership = function(blah:blah){
do this do that
}

then when yo want to call it just put ownership(blah:blah);
