Help with file

I am writting a Reaction time program and think I have what it takes to do it, but running into some problems. Can some one please check it out and tell me where I went wrong?

The first screen tells what it should be doing. What it isn't doing is running the action script when I click on the start button.

Thank you

Well Jim you had all kinds of little problems. The biggest was that you added frames but didn't change any of the gotoAndPlay(frameNumber) actions. So first problem was that it was going to the wrong frames almost everywhere it called for a frame number.

Second you had the instance names that needed to be on the buttons on the text boxes and vice versa. So when you entered a frame a random text box appeared instead of a random button.

You also where using:

on(press){
   nextFrame();
}

Should be:

on(release){
   gotoAndPlay(3);
}

I modified the stopTimer() function so now it shows the time in seconds as opposed to the number of clicks. I also took all stage items off of the actions layer.
