I have built a flash website. The problem I am having is that I can click home, and it goes there, I can click ABOUT US, and it goes there…but it wont work on any of the other pages. I am not sure what I am missing. Here is the code. Do I need an if/else or what?

//importing  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.events.MouseEvent;  
import flash.display.Shape;  
import flash.text.TextFormat;  
import flash.text.TextField;

//Page Consistant Objects  
var myHeader:HeaderMC = new HeaderMC;  
var myNavigation:NavigationMC = new NavigationMC;  
var myFooter:FooterMC = new FooterMC;

//above items are now visible  
addChild (myHeader);  
addChild (myNavigation);  
addChild (myFooter);

//setting up header, Nav Bar, Buttons, and a floating footer  
myNavigation.y = myHeader.y + 208;  
myFooter.y = stage.stageHeight + 55;

// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

//MENU

//menu buttons  
var menuArray:Array = new Array();  
//button names  
var nameArray:Array = [“Home”,“About Us”,“Debt Free”,“Budget Resources”,“Survive Bankruptcy”,“Help Others”,“Contact Us”];

//START LOOP  
//menu  
for (var i:int = 0; i\<6; i++){

```
//create the bg
var btnBg:Shape = new Shape();
//line style
btnBg.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x0099ff, .5, true);
//begin fill
btnBg.graphics.beginFill(0x66cbff);
//draw bar
btnBg.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 150, 44, 10);
//end fill
btnBg.graphics.endFill();

//font object
var btnFont = new Verdana();
//text format
var btnFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
//set font
btnFormat.font = btnFont.fontName;

//set properties
btnFormat.size = 15;
btnFormat.align = "center";
btnFormat.color = 0xffffff;

//new text field
var btnTxt:TextField = new TextField;
//set text format
btnTxt.defaultTextFormat = btnFormat;

//set properties
btnTxt.width = 150;
btnTxt.height = 65;
btnTxt.y = 13;

//create new instance loop
var myBtn:Sprite = new Sprite();

//give new button name
myBtn.name = nameArray*;

//set the sprite to act like button
myBtn.buttonMode = true;
//no listening
myBtn.mouseChildren = false;

//add buttons
menuArray.push(myBtn);
//add button to list
addChild(myBtn);

//position the button in horizontal line
myBtn.y = 212;
myBtn.x = 25 + (i*165);

	//add background shape
	myBtn.addChild(btnBg);
	//add text field
	myBtn.addChild(btnTxt);
	//populate with text
	btnTxt.text = myBtn.name;
	
//add event listeners
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnHandler);
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnHandler);
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnHandler);

```

}  
swapChildren (myBtn, myNavigation);  
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
//Index or Home Page

//content  
var contentContainer:Sprite = new Sprite;

//check to see if this is a roll over event
