annoying scripts with FLASH

Firstly i'm not sure on the exact version of flash i'm using atm since its only a 30 day trial version and i can't even remember where i got it from. But i know its Flash MX (just not sure on the exact year or whatever, maybe its not even important)
Basically what i am trying to do, is have it so that when the flash file loads up the user sees a screenshot of the game theme hospital, and when they click on screen (using masking) have it that when they move the mouse over certain areas of the picture, it unveils some text.
what im having trouble with is the action scripts. from watching tutorials some people seem to be able to just load up the action scripts window and type away. but i have to first add a function from a given list and can then like type in a url link or something similar, it doesn't let me edit the actual code.
i've got a ss to help you try n see what i'm going on about.
also with your answers, i've pretty much never used scrips with flash before. so i'll seriously need this spelling out for me.
thankyou for any help you can give

Try going up the the timeline, making a new layer, clicking on the frame in that layer...
after that, if you can't type in the actions pane, then something is wrong.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
it gives me this startDrag(""); and i can type something in a panel that will put what i type inbetween the speech marks. whereas if i need to type in startDrag ("/object", true); i can't because ,true would end up inside the speech marks along with the object.
this is getting to be very wordy and complicated, but if you know what i'm talking about then point me in the right direction
It looks to me like you're on a movie clip, and if you followed my instructions then in every version of Flash I've used back to 2004, you should have been able to type.
