I think the big mistake is using the reserved word "layer" (NS4 won't like
that)
you could also move this (changed) part into the constructor:
this.setBack = new DynLayer(null,o.w-15,o.h-5,10,3,"#000000");
this.setBack.listener = new EventListener();
this.setBack.listener.onclick = function(e){
var o= e.getSource();
o.parent.animateMe();
};
and keep this bit in onprecreate:
o.setBack.addEventListener(o.setBack.listener);
o.addChild(o.setBack);
Try it though, I'm not sure.
