is repeatitive function name of buttons prones to problems? (html5)

Question

hi everyone, im pretty new to animate. im trying to make an interactive animation with mainly navigation buttons, and i do this by using gotoandplay/stop codes in code snippets a lot. the first few buttons worked really well, but the problem is the codes seem just not take effects on the new buttons i've created recently (the old ones still work).

here's one of the many codes that failed to work:

this.mlh1_navigation.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_28.bind(this));

function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_28()
{
this.gotoAndPlay(19);
}

i've searched in the community and i found a post similar to my situation, to which an answer suggested having different function names for the buttons, for repeatitive function name is problematic. im not really sure how to change function name? i do keep the frame number in the second line different though i dont know what does it mean...

anyone knows what is going on here?

the wizard should be changing the function names.

but, if you really have more than one fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_28(), then yes, it's a problem. never use the same function name more than once.

to change a name, just change it in the listener(s) and the function iteself:

this.mlh1_navigation.addEventListener("click", whatever.bind(this));

function whatever()
{
this.gotoAndPlay(19);
}
