New to Flash - please help

Question

I am trying to create a simple slideshow. Each time a new
photo comes up, I need the viewer to be able to click and go to a
separate html page for each photo. I know this is very simple, but
I keep getting code errors. The first photo works, but after that,
I get duplication errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is what the original code looks like. I thought all I
needed to do was copy and paste it with each keyframe and then just
change the html redirect page.
inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
http://www.golfozarks.com/little_league/bk-auto/john-botson.htm"));
trace("");
The Flash is playing right now at

Without seeing what the errors are saying I am only guessing
that the duplication may be regarding the addEventListener
attachments. You may be able to get away with using:
inv_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
buttonClickHandler);
ahead of each secondary (after the first frame) assignment of
adding the listener.
Another more efficient approach would be to have the
buttonClickHandler and event listener remain constant, but pull the
urlRequest out as a separate variable and only change its value for
each player's frame.
So you'd have a layer that spans all other layers that
contains the url variable declaration, event listener assignment,
and the buttonClickHandler function, and only in the first frame.
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
inv_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(url);
Where only the url value changes with each player frame:
url = "
http://www.golfozarks.com/little_league/bk-auto/...etc"
