Newbie to flash needs help with buttons!

Okay, I have figured out the mechanics of how to make a simple button, and have
seen many, many tutorials about buttons, and have coded the Actionscript. (it's
3.0) What I type is on the bottom.



And then I draw something on frame 2, frame 3 and so on... but then I test the
movie and the beginning frame with the button in only on screen for 1/12 of a
second. How can I make it so it stays onscreen until it is clicked?
Thanks!
