Error problem. Function does not have a body??

[worcesters]

Hi There,

I have a problem with a little project i'm working on and hope that someone out there can help me out.

I have created a short animated movie clip symbol and called it post_it_mc. At the end of the timeline for this symbol is a simple stop action. In my main movie I have attempted to assign this movie clip to be a button that reacts to a mouse click. The instance name for this Movie clip is postit_mc. My action script is as follows;

stop();

postit01_mc.buttonMode = true;

postit01_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void;
{
postit01_mc.play;
}

When I export the movie as a swf i get the error message;

1126: Function does not have a body

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? I'm sure it can't be a big problem. I have not been scripting for a little while and am getting rusty it seems. Any help would be great. Cheers

remove the semicolon from this line:

function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void;

Ah thanks very much for that.

You've solved the problem of the error message. But annoyingly the swf now plays and stops, then won't replay when I click on the file. hmmmm, a little bit more chin scratching I think

Thanks though my friend!

postit01_mc.play;


that should be:

postit01_mc.play();

if you are unsure of the syntax for a command, you can always press F1 and search for e.g. "function" or "play"
