Syntax Error in Script Editor

Question

Hey everybody. I'm brand new to Mac's (and programming for that matter). I've been trying to do some basic programming with AppleScript based on guides I found online. After making sure I copied the guide's code EXACTLY, I still get a Syntax error, which reads "expected "," or "}" but found property. The word "AppleScript" is highlighted in this instance. Strangely enough, no other instances of "AppleScript" are targeted with this error message. Like I said before, I've made sure to carefully copy everything from the guide I read and have done it multiple times, but still get this error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

Having another small problem. Two problems to be exact. Here is the code I have so far.
set answer to the button returned of (display dialog ¬
¬
"Welcome to the haunted house. Enter at your own risk. You have two options: Choose to Continue, or Run away." buttons {"Continue", "Run Away"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note)
if answer = "Continue" then
display dialog ¬
"You step into the foyer of the house and see two hallways on either side of you. Go left, or go right?" buttons {"Left", "Right"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note
if answer = "Right" then
display dialog ¬
"You step on a trap door and fall into a pit. You lose the game." buttons {"Exit"} ¬
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note
else
display dialog ¬
"You walk down the hallway cautiously until you encounter a door." buttons {"Open Door"}
with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note
end if
else
display dialog ¬
"You run out of the haunted house, starting your car and driving away." buttons {"Exit"} ¬
with title "AppleScript confusion" with icon note
First problem: the response doesn't seem to be working at all. I've clicked both buttons but only get the response under
else
I can't seem to get the response that's under
if answer = "Right" then
even if I am clicking the button that says "Right"
Second problem:
"with title "AppleScript Confusion" with icon note" in the paragraph under "else." Whenever I try to compile, the word "title" is highlighted and I get the error message "expected "timeout" or "transaction" but found identifier."
An answer to one or both questions would be greatly appreciated!!
