Current ActionScript 3.0 feature, plus any previous
Ok, I don't know how I did it. Probably the gods of AS3 got mad at me when my scrollbar worked right after I coded it, no error. But I have a very strange problem. I have three different buttons, they are not nested, and they have event listeners for mouse clicks that call a function. Whenever one of these three buttons is pressed, it calls the function it should use, plus any previous ones from swf's life. I have no idea how this happens, to be honest, I'm in shock, I, I'm in shock. How does this happen? Is there something with eventListeners? Perhaps something with the URLLoader? I do not know, I have followed every step of the path and I have nothing, so I throw myself before the court of smart coders in the hope that one of you respectable and gentleladies only know what I am doing wrong.please take pity on the bad soul of the coder.

Oh, I see. He's here in this part:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.gessnerengineering.com/projects"));
Each time this code is called, you add a new event listener to the xmlLoader. So every subsequent time you call it, it will call onCompleteXML +1 times.

Check what you are doing in your timeline and make sure you have a command stop()
and don't add event repeaters again.
Each time you enter a keyframe in the timeline, your event listeners are added. So I am assuming that you move to another frame and then return to the same frame, which will add event listeners.
