php - ActionScript Error- 1086: expecting a semicolon before left curly brace? -

i in beginning stages of creating own online multiplayer trivia game , doing this tutorial when ran compile error (in title) in actionscript associated 1st frame , dynamic text field:

onclipevent (load) {   loadvariables("http://localhost/read.php?file=testfile", this, "get"); } 

i not sure doing wrong? using flash cs5...is code not compatible cs3 or something? appreciated, have been trying find out doing wrong hour! :)

thanks!

your main problem coding actionscript 2 while project set actionscript 3. onclipevent old heritage actionscript 1, so, tutorial outdated @ best.

your loading code (in as3) should more this:

var loader:urlloader = new urlloader();  // specify format being variables loader.dataformat = urlloaderdataformat.variables;  loader.addeventlistener(event.complete, handleloadcomplete);  // load data loader.load(new urlrequest("foo.php"));   function handleloadcomplete (e):void {     trace(loader.data urlvariables); // true     trace(loader.data.valuefromyourdata); }
