I don't have time to rework your script again, but these commands aren't right. You should just use a single command: 'click button 1'.
Unlike the 'keystroke' command, most GUI Scripting commands should be addressed to a specific UI element, and that UI element does not need to be selected first (in fact, I don't think the 'select' command even works with a button). So, 'click button 1'.
The 'click at' command is different from the 'click' command. The 'click at' command takes a screen location in the form of a list, such as '{100, 200}', as its parameter, not a button or other UI element. You don't need 'click at' when you can get a reference to the UI element itself, as you can here. In fact, 'click at' is almost always useless because of the way Apple implemented it (it gets the UI element at the given location and then clicks that UI element, instead of sending a click to the given location).
