How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

Question

I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?

I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:

http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html

I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol 
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.

I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.

I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

Here is the code I used to create my first button.

Hi. You need to have a different function name for each function. They can't all be named as "buttonClickHandler".

For instance, your functions could be named as:
buttonClickHandler1
buttonClickHandler2
etc

Or you could (and should) use names that are more descriptive.
