Timer Event Problems (Syntax Errors)

I'm creating a simple slideshow that just goes from one slide to the next every 10 seconds. I'm using the Timer Event to do this but when I try the following script, I get nothing but a bunch of syntax errors on lines 9 and 26 with no further explanation. I think my syntax is correct so can someone look at this script and tell me where I'm screwing up?

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.utils.*;

var inTween:Tween;
var outTween:Tween;
var timeTween:Timer = new Timer(1000);

slide1_mc.alpha=100;
slide2_mc.alpha=0;
slide3_mc.alpha=0;
slide4_mc.alpha=0;
slide5_mc.alpha=0;
slide6_mc.alpha=0;
slide7_mc.alpha=0;
slide8_mc.alpha=0;
slide9_mc.alpha=0;

var slides:Array=[slide1_mc,slide2_mc,slide3_mc,slide4_mc,slide5_mc, slide6_mc,slide7_mc,slide8_mc,slide9_mc];
var showingIndex:int=0;

timeTween.addEventListener(”timer”, slide);
timeTween.start();

function slide(eventArgs:TimerEvent) {
trace(”Timer fired ” + timeTween.currentCount + ” times.”);
if (showingIndex==8) {
return;
}
outTween=new Tween(slides[showingIndex],"alpha",None.easeNone,1,0,1,true);
inTween=new Tween(slides[showingIndex+1],"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,1,true);
showingIndex++;
}

the only thing I can see is that your alpha value for the first MC should be 1 not 100.

Is the slide() function ok to return null without a return datatype? Finally from what I can see you haven't provided a description for the None.easeNone function which you've passed to the new Tween function, although that could of course be a static function in the tween class...

I used the slide function on a different .fla where the slideshow was guided by buttons instead of time. None.easeNone also came from the same exact script so if it worked there it should work here.

your code works fine for me - is it possible that you are missing instance names for clips on stage?
If that's not the case, it may be helpful to include the contents of the error messages you get.

I believe the instance names are on the stage. Here's the FLA (minus the photos) with the clips on the stage.
