Replay button

Question

hello,
i've got a pretty simple CS3 animation. Just about at the end
of the timeline a replay button appears. However, so far I can't
get it to work.
In the replay button's timeline, I have defined keyframes for
up, over and down states. (the button is changing images properly
when I hover the mouse over it, and press down.) For the hit state,
I've created a keyframe. I've also tried to insert some Action
Script there. The window for the Action Script says "Current
selection cannot have actions applied to it." So, my first question
is: Does CS3 allow for Action Script to appear in the timeline of a
button? I keep reading how people are applying AS3 in button
timelines, but I can't put my AS3 in the "hit" frame's keyframe.
So, i've tried to get the button to work using the main
timeline. I've given the button an instance name: btnReplay. In the
first frame of the timeline, I've got AS that says:
function replayClick(event:MouseEvent):void
trace('inside onClick');
gotoAndPlay(1); // plays the current timeline from 1
} // end of onClick
btnReplay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayClick);
Unfortunately, i get a compiler error with the first line.
(I've changed my AS version to 1-2, it still gives me the error.
So, I'm currently running AS3.)
The compiler error says '{' expected. I've compared this
first line (i.e., "function...") with other examples that I've
found, and I don't see what the source of the compiler error is.
does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Ned,
thanks for looking at my FLA file. I sent it to your email.
However, here's some comments:
1. when I run it, I get an error on frame 103, line 1. It
says '{' expected with this statement:
function replayClick(event:MouseEvent):void
2. frame 109 has some AS3 that doesn't work. Here's the code:
var request="
http://www.Adobe.com"
try {
flash.net.navigateToURL(request, "_self");
catch (e:Error) {
// handle error here
// trace('e:Error: ' + e:Error);
I'm trying to give the user about 5 seconds to hit the
"replay" button. If the person doesn't do this, then I want the
flash to force the calling page to load a new page. (So that the
calling page functions as a splash page.)
3. the replay button doesn't work.
Thanks again for looking at my FLA. I appreciate it.
