Frame Navigation Problems

Question

I've got a navigation bar similar to progress bars you see in online applications, with 12 steps indicated by boxes.  The goal is as follows:
if you are on page N, then box N is Gold. Pages you are not on are labled by Grey Boxes. Pages you are not on But have completed/edited are labeled by Light Gold.
instead of working like I thought it ought have, the colors while beggining in grey (frame1)switch to gold when selected (that part works) or light gold when unselected. I tampered with the conditions of the first stage to try to get a third color to show up, but instead of seeing three colors, the "previously visited" page markers are all labled as "currently active"/gold.
I also get the feeling the code below is extremely redundant but my attempts at reducing it functions ended in total failure.
----- code -----
st1 = 0; //off; if st1 = 1, stage condition = complete,
st2 = 0;
st3 = 0;
st4 = 0;
st5 = 0;
st6 = 0;
st7 = 0;
st8 = 0;
st9 = 0;
st10 = 0;
st11 = 0;
st12 = 0; //last stage;
onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(1 == 0){st1 = 1;}else{st1 = 0;} //test
    if(textA1 != "" || TextA2 != ""){st2 = 1;}else{st2 = 0;}
    if(TextA3 != ""){st3 = 1;}else{st3 = 0;}

navigation.stage3.onPress = function(){ navigation.gotoAndStop("frame3");
etc. (the pattern repeats for all 12)

Answer 1

fixed it:
function act(stageN){
stageN.gotoAndStop("frame2");
function fin(stageN){
stageN.gotoAndStop("frame3");
function rei(stageN){
stageN.gotoAndStop("frame1");
onEnterFrame = function(){
st1.onPress = function(){
    act(st1); navigation.gotoAndStop("frame1");
    if($t2 == 0){rei(st2);}else{fin(st2);}
    if($t3 == 0){rei(st3);}else{fin(st3);}
    if($t4 == 0){rei(st4);}else{fin(st4);}
    if($t5 == 0){rei(st5);}else{fin(st5);}
    if($t6 == 0){rei(st6);}else{fin(st6);}
    if($t7 == 0){rei(st7);}else{fin(st7);}
    if($t8 == 0){rei(st8);}else{fin(st8);}
    if($t9 == 0){rei(st9);}else{fin(st9);}
    if($t10 == 0){rei(st10);}else{fin(st10);}
    if($t11 == 0){rei(st11);}else{fin(st11);}
    if($t12 == 0){rei(st12);}else{fin(st12);}
st2.onPress = function(){
    act(st2); navigation.gotoAndStop("frame2");
etc. (pattern repeats 11 more times)
I admit it could be more condensed though.
