Yet another simple button question

i created masthead in flash cs4 hoping try as3. want 1 simple button go url when clicked.

i'm using actionscript tutorial found. after numerous attempts keep getting same syntax error:

"scene 1, layer 'actions', frame 1, line 3  /  1084: syntax error: expecting identifier before dot."

 

my script follows

 

1. stop();
   
2. import flash.events.mouseevent;
3. var gethome:urlrequest = new.urlrequest("http://www.mydomain.com/");
4. btn_home.addeventlistener(mouseevent.click, home);
5. function home(event:mouseevent):void{
6. navigatetourl(gethome);
7. }

 

gethome variable

btn_home instance name of button.

 

what doing wrong? i've tried adding dots , colons in various locations in line 3 nothing works.

thanks.

hi,

 

instead of this

var gethome:urlrequest = new.urlrequest("http://www.mydomain.com/");

 

use this

var gethome:urlrequest = new urlrequest("http://www.mydomain.com/");
