Okay,
first off, the script you have is AS2, and will not work if you have created an AS3 file, either you change it to AS2 in publish settings, or scrap the script and do seomething like this....

function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(" http://www.mysite.com/");
navigateToURL(myURL);
}

myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

the instance name of your button should, in this case, would be myBtn...
You can check out the flash help, I think this is among the examples of eventlisteners

hope this helps
