Simple button script not working

Question

I am using AS2 and need help figuring out why this simple button script is not working:
stop();
buttonWS1.onRelease = function(){
                    gotoAndStop("Stage1and2_Boss",4);
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                    nextFrame();
//end
My buttons are the square letter-puzzles below. They are images that I converted to "symbols" (specifically, buttons). I put their names as above (buttonWS1, buttonWS2, etc.) in the "instance names" boxes.
I have no idea what is going on. Please help!

Answer 1

Hi -
1. Yes, buttonWS2 is the instance name
2. The only code attached to it is the code I pasted above.
3. onRelease does not execute because my trace statement does not appear in the output
Here is the modified code for buttonWS2:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                    trace("clicked!");
                    nextFrame();
Question: It shouldn't matter if I have commented-out code within that set of codes should it?:
buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
          //if (puzzleschosenarray[0] == 2 || puzzleschosenarray[1] == 2) {
          // cannot be chosen -- make button non-functional
          //else{
                    //puzzleschosenarray[roundnumber-1] = 2;
                    trace("clicked!");
                    nextFrame();
