Can't find: '{' expected and Syntax error

Question

I did a hover caption tutorial at ultrashock.com. Scripts
work for others. When I try to publish, I get this output:
**Error** /dailyBackup/html/caption/Library.as: Line 1: '{'
expected
class
Library
{
           
static function delegate(object:Object,
methodName:String):Function
           
var method =
object[methodName];
           
delete
methodName;
           
var parameters = arguments.slice(2);
**Error** /dailyBackup/html/caption/Caption.as: Line 1:
Syntax error.
import Library;
import Tween;
import
easing.*;
import DropShadowFilter;
I copied all the imported AS files from the Macromedia
directories and put them in the same folder with Caption.as and
Library.as and hotspot.fla.

Depending if you are writing a "class" or just wanting to
insert common code will determine if you need the .as files at
runtime or not.
For example, when writing a class, you have to write it in an
external .as file and you only need the .as file during authoring
and publishing. Once the file has been published you do not need
the .as file any more. Classes are always referenced with the
"import" keyword.
If want to include common code in your Flash file that is NOT
a class, then you would use the "include" keyword. When you
"include" a .as file you will have to also keep it with the
published SWF file. So you would need it during authoring and at
runtime.
