"Frame 1 of the button layer" sounds a bit strange to me. The actionscript for a button just goes on the whole button. ie press F9 when you've clicked on the button - not while your inside a frame of the button.
Don't try to teach yourself flash by trying to learn every little thing as you go. Flash is not horrifically complicated (if you're doing something simple) but you might as well get a good book and go through it page by page doing the examples. THEN start doing stuff. I like SAMS books and HEADFIRST (SAMS does flash manuals, not sure about headfirst).
