    1084 errors

    Hey guys,
    I am getting a couple 1084 errors I can't figure out:

    THE CODE:

    //listener for the ProgressEvent when a download of the new
    version is in progress
    function onDownloadProgress(eventrogressEvent):void {
    windowContent.bar.setProgress(event.bytesLoaded, event.bytesTotal);
    }

    THE ERROR:
    1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before in.



    THE CODE:

    //create a window using NativeWindow, and as a content myWindow
    class
    function createWindow():void {
    if (window == null) {
    var options:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
    options.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
    options.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL;

    window = new NativeWindow(options);
    window.x = 300;
    window.y = 200;
    window.stage.stageHeight = 230;
    window.stage.stageWidth = 450;
    window.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    window.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    window.stage.addChild(windowContent);
    windowContent.bar.visible = false;
    }
    window.alwaysInFront = true;
    window.visible = true;
    }

    THE ERRORS:
    1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before function.
    1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before leftparen.


    I can't for the life of me figure it out. Whats wrong with my code?

    Should be:
    function onDownloadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    windowContent.bar.setProgress(event.bytesLoaded, event.bytesTotal);
    }

    1084 errors are syntax errors when you forget parenthesis etc. You need to go through your code step by step.

    Hey thanks a lot for the reply.
    I cleaned it up but its still giving me errors.

    The specific line is this one:

    //listener for the ProgressEvent when a download of the new
    version is in progress -This is the specific line its referencing
    function onDownloadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    windowContent.bar.setProgress(event.bytesLoaded, event.bytesTotal);
    }

    1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before in.

    I have rewritten it over and over and it continues to give me the same error what gives?

    If that is your actual code, including line break, then the problem is that you have what should be in a comment as code.

    Use [code] or [php] tags to format code here so we don't have to guess about what you actually have.

    Try either moving the complete comment to a single commented line, or making it a multiline comment.
    Code:
    /*
    listener for the ProgressEvent when a download of the new
    version is in progress -This is the specific line its referencing
    */
    function onDownloadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
      windowContent.bar.setProgress(event.bytesLoaded, event.bytesTotal);
    }

    5Tons you have no idea how much you have just helped me.
    So I was copying the Actionscript from this tutorial and the code though it looked identical was actually being interpreted by Flash as a function and not commented out code. I fixed the comments and it looks perfect.
