I am trying to do a simple flash file.  I have 4 buttons in a movie clip.  I have an actions frame with the following code.

///////////////////// Code

function btn_WhoWeAre(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(1);
}
function btn_OurPortfolio(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function btn_OurServices(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(3);
}
function btn_ContactUs(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(4);
}

///////////////////

As I am new to flash I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.  I get an error about incompatible override and dupplicate function.  Can anyone please help me.

That code alone is not going to produce the errors you are getting.  Do you repeat this same code anywhere?  That would account for the duplicate function error.  The override error sometimes means you are redefining some command--what other code do you have in the file?  If you have those functions, what is the code you are using for the event listeners?

i think you need to specify the event target and not the movie clip as the movie clip is not the target but the button inside it.

try:

event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(1);

Thank you for your post.  Do you mean do the code like this

//////////////////////

function btn_WhoWeAre(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
function btn_OurPortfolio(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function btn_OurServices(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
function btn_ContactUs(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(4);
}
