Help w/behaivior button error _ presentation doc

Question

Hi I'm learning action script but new to trouble-shooting.
set up a button on main presentation page of my flash 8 pro
presentation file.
used the behaivior:
>screen
>go to slide
then chose slide numbers. (works fine in a plain, new doc)
but on all of my ten buttons I get the following errors:
**Error** Screen=presentation, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 4:
')' expected
if((this.01 != undefined) && (this.01 != null))
So trying to decifer this....went back and "named" each
botton thinking it was instance related. but still won't nav from
the ten individual buttons I've made to the ten different "slide"
pages.
any help you may be able to translat this to give me a place
to start to solve this....my file complete...looks good..and will
nav thru the two arrow buttons I've made "go to previous" and "go
to next" ....but the buttons that are supposted to allow a use to
go to any of the ten pages does nothing.
Thanks for your help

Hi Neo,
Having taken a 3-day, all-day actionscript class, I realize
how indepth this prgm is, and I know this is a simple thing, and
totally operator error.
heres the whole error window:
**Error** Screen=presentation, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 4:
')' expected
if((this.01 != undefined) && (this.01 != null))
**Error** Screen=presentation, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 4:
')' expected
if((this.03 != undefined) && (this.03 != null))
**Error** Screen=presentation, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 4:
')' expected
if((this.02 != undefined) && (this.02 != null))
Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3
I've only assigned behaiviors to the first three buttons. The
individual "slides" in the flash 8 pro presentation are named
simply: 01, (for first slide) 02 (for second) 03, etc...I can see
them in the code. The instance names when I click on each "slide"
are also 01 (for first slide) 02 (for second) etc... The wierd
thing is the arrow keys. They are duplicates of the same buttons
that the numbers are, and they work with the "next" and "previous"
behaiviiors. but....also weird, I made a new (simple, clean, no
rollover) button on the "master" presentation page, and used the
>screen >go to slide feature....and it still did not work. I
thought it the buttons...but...now not sure...
any thoughts?
