For some reason this code isn’t working for me. i have my buttons named button1MC-button5MC. The onRelease code for them is:  
button1MC.onRelease = function () {  
if(whoIsOn != this) {  
whoIsOn.gotoAndPlay(15);  
whoIsOn = this;  
navigate(this.\_name);  
}  
}

navigation function is here:

\_global.navigate = function(x) {  
\_global.pressed = x;  
if (pressed != already) {  
\_global.already = pressed;  
name = String(x);  
which = name.charAt(6);  
contentMc.section = String(“section”+which);  
contentMc.play();  
}  
}

nothing happens when i click the buttons, any help would be great.
