Need help assigning actions/animations to movie clip buttons!

So I am following along this tutorial: http://layersmagazine.com/flash-button-animation.html

And I get to the part where I need to add code to get my buttons to work, and I copy and paste the code and then change the frame labels to match mine, but then I get a syntax error: "About_Project_mc, Layer 'hit area', Frame 1, Line 1    1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbrace."

I'm not sure what's going wrong...

Thanks for any help I can get

I will include photos...

I meant what I said...  your pictures show Actionscript 2 code.  And if you look at the very first image in the tutorial you linked, you will see it says AS2.

This is an AS3 forum and you are working with an AS2 design.  You should repost in the AS2 forum...

I am not sure what you mean... I am working in CS5 on an Actionscript 3 project (it shows on my pics that it is Actionscript 3 in my actions panel)

Or did you mean this is an Actionscript 2 discussion, and I need to post in AS3?
