[RESOLVED] [Problem] (Flash 8) Syntax Error I don't understand...

[medfoe]

So I was trying to make a game like this one:

http://zazeran.com/game.php?gameid=4

When I tested it, an error report popped up that said the following:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Game, frame=2:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Game, frame=2:Line 21: Syntax error.
} //end the onClipEvent handler

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2


It's referring to the code for the tank that the player controls:

code:

---

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

if(this._x<=0) this._x=2; //0 is the left boundary for my invader, you may want to change your's

if(this._x>=580) this._x=478; //480 is the right boundary, feel free to change!

if(this._x>80 && this._x<480) { //just to make sure that the ship is in a valid position

if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT) ) { //right key is down

this._x+=5 //5 is the speed, this moves the clip 5 to the right

}

else if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT) ) {

this._x-=5 // moves the clip 5 to the left

}



if(Key.isDown (Key.SPACE) ) { //space key is down



if(_root.bullet._y>600) { //checks to see if the bullet is off the screen (so you can fire again)

bullet._x=this._x //sets the bullet's x to your x



bullet._y=this._y //sets the bullet's y to your y



}

}

} //end the onClipEvent handler

[the--flash]

Add one more curley brace at the end.

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(this._x<=0) this._x=2; //0 is the left boundary for my invader, you may want to change your's
if(this._x>=580) this._x=478; //480 is the right boundary, feel free to change!
if(this._x>80 && this._x<480) { //just to make sure that the ship is in a valid position
if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT) ) { //right key is down
this._x+=5 //5 is the speed, this moves the clip 5 to the right
}
else if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT) ) {
this._x-=5 // moves the clip 5 to the left
}

if(Key.isDown (Key.SPACE) ) { //space key is down

if(_root.bullet._y>600) { //checks to see if the bullet is off the screen (so you can fire again)
bullet._x=this._x //sets the bullet's x to your x

bullet._y=this._y //sets the bullet's y to your y

}
}
}
} //end the onClipEvent handler

Problem solved!
