EventListener Failure

I can't figure out why this button isn't working. I have an air iOS document running actionscript 3.6. When it opens, it runs this code:

var someDate:Date = new Date(); 
var dayNum:uint = someDate.getMonth(); 
{
gotoAndStop (dayNum + 3);
          }

(and so on for all the months)

then this

var Aug:Date=new Date(); gotoAndStop(Aug.date, "August")

Once it gets to that frame, I try to run the button

Right.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_2); 
function fl_MouseClickHandler_2(event:MouseEvent😞void { gotoAndStop(currentFrame + 1) }

But nothing happens when I publish and hit the button.
-There's a next frame for it to go to
-I've tried duplicating the button and the action script in a new air document and the button worked
-I tried replacing the "gotoAndStop" in the button with a trace and nothing was retuned.

Really running out of ideas of what could be wrong..... is it the actionscript preceding the eventlistener that's causing it not to respond?
