I am converting an exitisting as2 fla to as3 and this is my first time even looking at as3.

what am i doing wrong on this?

stop();  
function eventResponse2(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
mc\_navBar.gotoAndStop(“profile”);  
trace(“clicked”);  
}

btn\_profile.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP,eventResponse2);

the trace works i comment out the gotoandstop. here is the error i get…

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.  
at homepage2\_fla::MainTimeline/eventResponse2()

Thanks!
