AppleScript InDesign CS5.5 Syntax Error

Question

Hi, this script runs fine as is but when I got to edit, it gives me error when compiling.  Error I get is on following 2 lines with as text part.  If I take it out, I don't get error but script doesn't run.  Script was created on a older version of MAC OS and InDesign but someone else.
set contents of myTextFrame to TheList as text
set XML_File to (choose file with prompt XMLstr) as text
Error is Syntax error:" Expected end of line, etc. but found application constant or consideration."
Here is complete script:
try
set CSVstr to "Please locate your CSV file..."
set CSV_File to (choose file with prompt CSVstr) as text
set csvData to read file CSV_File
set csvEntries to paragraphs of csvData

Thanks, I had re-written and seem to have it working ok but went back to original to test using string instead of text and that seems to work.
Thanks again for the help.
