You should look some examples while learning. And when facing an issue, search for a solution and compare your code to examples.

You have couple very simple mistakes there.

Your code:

blueS_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onclick

function onclick(e:MouseEvent);:void {
    trace("click!");
}

Example:

blueS_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onclick);

function onclick(e:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("click!");
}

So, missing ); from event listener line and extra ; at function opener.
