keep getting syntax errors

[bozack]

i'm new to flash.
i'm trying to make a simple flash movie in cs4.

scene 1 > click a button > gotoandplay scene 3

thats all.

my script looks like this:

stop();
on (release) {
gotoAndplay("Scene 3",1);
}

i keep getting the following error:
1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

and is referring to:
on (release) {

i don't know why this is happening.
can someone help me?

It looks like your code is in a frame on the timeline, the onRelease should be added to the button itself.

The rest of the syntax looks right. Not sure if it matters, but if case-sensitive it should read gotoAndPlay();
