I need some help here.

This is my code:

```auto

stop();
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(2);
}
port_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(3);
}
serv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler3);
function mouseDownHandler3(event:MouseEvent):void {
 gotoAndStop(4);
}

```

And it comes up wth these errors:

```auto

1021: Duplicate function definition. function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {

1021: Duplicate function definition. function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {

1021: Duplicate function definition. function mouseDownHandler3(event:MouseEvent):void {

```

Also, it doesn’t “stop();” it just keeps looping. Any help would be appreciated.
