Using an external as file so it displays on the stage?

Question

Hi,
How do I get this code to work?
package
    import fl.controls.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    dynamic public class MainTimeline extends MovieClip
        public var btSubmit:Button;
        public var btAlpha:Button;
        public var mytween:MovieClip;
        public var i:String;
        public var tiAge:TextInput;
        public var people:Array;
        public function MainTimeline()
            addFrameScript(0, frame1);
            __setProp_btSubmit_Scene1_objects_1();
            __setProp_btAlpha_Scene1_objects_1();
            return;
        }// end function
        function __setProp_btSubmit_Scene1_objects_1()
            try
                btSubmit["componentInspectorSetting"] = true;
            catch (e:Error)
            btSubmit.emphasized = false;
            btSubmit.enabled = true;
            btSubmit.label = "Submit";
            btSubmit.labelPlacement = "right";
            btSubmit.selected = false;
            btSubmit.toggle = false;
            btSubmit.visible = true;
            try
                btSubmit["componentInspectorSetting"] = false;
            catch (e:Error)
            return;
        }// end function
        function frame1()
            stop();
            people = new Array("julie", "bill", "steve", "paul");
            btAlpha.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
            for (i in people)
                trace(people[i]);
            btSubmit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Ageval);
            return;
        }// end function
        public function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent) : void
            mytween.alpha = 0.5;
            return;
        }// end function
        public function Ageval(event:MouseEvent) : void
            var _loc_2:* = undefined;
            _loc_2 = tiAge.text;
            if (_loc_2 > "18")
                trace("You are " + _loc_2 + " years old you are old enough to vote!");
            else
                trace("You are " + _loc_2 + " years old you are not old enough to vote yet!");
            return;
        }// end function
        function __setProp_btAlpha_Scene1_objects_1()
            try
                btAlpha["componentInspectorSetting"] = true;
            catch (e:Error)
            btAlpha.emphasized = false;
            btAlpha.enabled = true;
            btAlpha.label = "Alpha";
            btAlpha.labelPlacement = "right";
            btAlpha.selected = false;
            btAlpha.toggle = false;
            btAlpha.visible = true;
            try
                btAlpha["componentInspectorSetting"] = false;
            catch (e:Error)
            return;
        }// end function
I can't tell how to get the code to interact with the objects on the stage.
Thanks,

Follow steps below:
Open your fla  file.
Click on stage area.
opne Properties window from  either the "Window" menu or using shortcut CTRL+F3
You will see one text field with the label 'Document class:' type your class name.
Make sure you are placing your class file i.e. .as  file in the same directory as that of your fla file.
To check click on the edit Icon infront of that text field and it should open your .as file
Also keep in mind that you  will have to write the class as public and should have the same name as that of your file or vice-e-versa'
I guess this will help you.
P.S.: A flash program starts with the constructor of the Document class assigned to that Fla.
