Thanks Jim,
I've set up the AS3 event handler as you've specified, and it does change
the cursor from an arrow to a pointer, but the _up, _down and _over states
don't work. I pasted the same button symbol into an AS2 FLA file, and it
does work, so there isn't anything wrong with the way I've set my frame
labels in the button symbol.
According to the docs, it should work in AS3:
"If you use the buttonMode property with the MovieClip class (which is a
subclass of the Sprite class), your button might have some added
functionality. If you include frames labeled _up, _over, and _down, Flash
Player provides automatic state changes (functionality similar to that
provided in previous versions of ActionScript for movie clips used as
buttons)."
Can anyone else get this working in AS3???

One way to instantiate a mc as a button in as3 is:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);
my_btn.buttonMode = true;
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
