action script 2 not working

New to Flash CS4, but could do basic button stuff like this in Flash MX 2004. (Haven't been doing anything with Flash in the meantime, but now have CS4 and am determined to get back into it.)

I chose Action script 2 when starting, and in the publish settings. Made some very simple buttons and used the action script assistant but cannot figure out why they are not working. i keep going around and around and getting nowhere.

would someone please take a look and advise? I am STUCK.

Please?

the file is too big to attach, but if anybody is willing to help, i'll share the file via my iDisk. Thanks so much.

First, you have to choose to open an AS2 file. If it really doesn't work, and you can't put the file here, why can't you just put the code which isn't working here?

Like I stated, I started out by choosing an action script 2 document and chose action script 2 in the publish settings.

When i made the buttons, i converted shapes to button symbols and then named the instances on the stage. I have keyframes on the button stages.

Here is action script on the button on scene 1 to take one to the next scene:

on (release) {

gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);

}

This is the action script i put for making a button to open a URL in a blank window:

on (release) {

getURL("http://www.umarkers.com/aboutBuilding.html", "_blank");

}
