Having trouble utilizing event functions in a class.

Question

I am trying to write button code in a class, so my main actions panal of my .fla doesn't get too overcrowded. Here is my class coding:
package grid {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class g1x1 extends MovieClip {
  public function activateGrid() {
   this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClickEvent);
  function onMouseClickEvent(event:Event):void {
   trace("mouse clicked on me");
Then on my main timeline I call to that class using:
instance:g1x1 = new g1x1();
instance.activateGrid();
I have also tryed linking the button, using export for actionscript, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong I keep getting errors when I try to compile.
I know something is wrong with my code, I'm used to assigning code right onto the buttons in AS2.
Can sombody tell me what I'm doing worng?
Thanks
Matt.

This is how it should look like:
Class:
package grid {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class g1x1 extends MovieClip {
public function g1x1()
public function activateGrid()
   this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClickEvent);
private function onMouseClickEvent(event:Event):void
   trace("mouse clicked on me");
your document class or timeline or .as
import grid.*;
private var myGrid1x1:g1x1 = new g1x1();
myGrid1x1.activateGrid();
