The best way to learn is hands-on experimentation.

The alert box is your friend.

Just try:

on mouseUp
  go movie "blah"
  alert "After go movie I'm still here"
end
And see what happens.
But an alert call is a one-liner, not a pointer into another handler. 
The equivalent for Joshua's question might be:

  on mouseUp
    go movie whatever
    doThis()
  end
  on doThis
    alert "What do you want?"
  end
My experience has been that calling out to other handlers (in one 
script) after movie navigation events have taken place (if the second 
movie doesn't have that script) can result in some unhappy mojo, such 
as crashes.
