XML syntax error 1084

Hi,
this is my first post on the forum and I'm a new to Flash.
I got an error which I can't seem to figure out on my own what is the problem, I've read through some of the 1084 errors but still couldn't figure it out
I got "1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon" on this line: myXML = new XML(e:target.data);
And here is the whole code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded);
var myXML:XML; // Variable to hold XML class
function onLoaded (e:Event):void{
myXML = new XML(e:target.data);
loader.load(new URLRequest("names.xml"));
trace(myXML);
Thanks in advance
Regards Sakujin

I've discovered the error after I got help from a friend the culprit was a colon instead of a punctation after XML(e.target.data); instead of XML(e:target.data)
Thanks for everyone that has visited my post.

Location tempInit (what is it?) Syntax errors 1084 & 1086 in lines that don't exist.

I am getting the following errors:
tempInit, Line 280
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before true.
tempInit, Line 280
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before dot.
tempInit, Line 376
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before false.
tempInit, Line 376
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before dot.
I don't know where tempInit is in the location and I especially don't know where lines 280 or 376 are because I only have 111 lines of actionscript! I don't know where to start.
Any help would be appreciated.

Pardon my intrusion. I thought I'd throw this in since oddly enough it just showed up in the General forum today about an hour before you posted... it might have some info to help (or not).

Syntax Error 1084

ICan someone help, please? I'm having trouble with ActionScript 3.0, and I keep getting an error:
1084:syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon
And this is the script:
home_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, takeHome);
function takeHome(evt:MouseEvent){
    gotoAndStop(1)
flash_button.addEventListener(event:MouseEvent)void:)
    nextFrame(2);
clients_button.addEventListener(event:MouseEvent)void:
    nextFrame(3);
If anyone can see anything wrong with this, I'd be more than grateful.

There are a number of errors. The following lines are correctly written... so based the rest of the code you show on their example...
home_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, takeHome);
function takeHome(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(1);
Also, nextFrame() does not accept a numeric argument... it only goes to the next frame in case you are trying to go more than that.

XML Syntax Error

I have a page with NO comments that output unicode in xml and
sometimes it works, sometimes it says:
Incorrect syntax was used in a comment. Error processing
resource '
http://www.netspeaknow.com/gamers/flashCFM/getPopQuiz.cf...
</TD></TD></TD></TH></TH></TH></TR></TR></TR></TA...
but there are no comments. Even if there were why would this
page only work about half the time? I have attached the code.
Thanks for any help!

Try wrapping all your code in <cfsilent>, and move you
<cfcontent> down to
the same line you're outputting your XML (ie: at the bottom).
XML gets antsy if there is whitespace before the
<?xml?> tag, or between
that and the doctype (in my experience).
I'd alos SERIOUSLY consider refactoring your approach to
writing code so
that you don't have a mix of processing, function
declarations, DB calls
and output all in the same CFM template. It's a bit of a
mess.
Also make sure you VAR all your variables in functions, and
use
<cfqueryparam> tags in your queries. Read up on when to
use pound signs
(and when not to), and when to use <cfoutput>.
You only need pageencoding="UTF-8" on your template if the
actual code has
UTF-8 characters in it: it doesn't matter if the DATA you're
processing is
UTF-8; the <cfprocessingdirective> tag is a compiler
instruction, not a
ruuntime one. Otherwise it's just noise (cue: Paul Hatings
disagreeing
with that ;-)

ACE-4710 : XML Syntax Error du to a missing closing tag

Hi,
We use XML over HTTPS to gather connections information from a management station. We can successfully read the number of connections per real server (rserver), but the ACE returns a buggy XML code when we tray to get the number of connections through the VIP (by asking the service-policy). The problem is a missing closing tag in the returned code. The missing tag is </sp_class_map>.
We have the latest ACE software version A3(2.2) installed. Note that the same request on a ACE Service Module does not presents this bug. I took a look in the bug toolkit but did not found the exact match.
Does somebody already had this problem ? it is anoying as we cannot represent the number of connections for a specific vip in the NMS.
I attach the returned XML code, in which I highligted the tad that does not have its closing counterpart.
Thank you for any info before I open a TAC case
Yves

Thank you Gilles,
It seams that this bug is only visible inernally : "Information contained within bug ID CSCsz52234 is only available to Cisco employees".
I saved the bug to be informed on its status. Do you thing I should open a TAC case anyway ?

Package Cannot Be Nested 1037 & Syntax Error 1084

Trying to learn how to crerate a Box2D game in WIndows 8 Flash Pro CC.   Opened new document in ActionScript 3.0 Class or ".as" as a Flash Pro application. Very very new to all developer languages and processes. Please help.
package {
    import flash.display.Sprite
    import Box2D.Dynamics.*;
    import Box2D.Collision.*;
    import Box2D.Collision.Shapes.*;
    import Box2D.Common.Math.*;
    public class Main extends Sprite{
        public function Main(){
            trace(*my awsome game starts here *);

the default directory is usually in the same directory where the main fla is saved but that can be changed in advanced actionscript settings panel (file>publish settings>actionscript settings - wrench icon).
p.s. you should copy and paste your actualy code. if that is your actual code, that trace is incorrect and should contain a string. ie, change the asterisks to quotes.

Flash is complaining about XML? Im using AS3 why are there XML errors? Unknown syntax errors.

Sorry to keep spamming these forums with my stupid errors, but I am trying really hard to learn Flash/AS3 and when I have got to grips with it, I will return the love.
I am a flash rookie trying to make a simple calculation device and I am getting a whole world of errors I have never seen before.
My Code (I apologise but it may be my bad syntax):
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var Hnum:String;
var PCnum:String;
var calc:Number = 25;
var Total:Number;
num1.restrict = "0-9";
num2.restrict = "0-9";
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function PartCount(event:MouseEvent):void{
    PCnum = num2.text;
    if (PCnum > 0 && < 10){
        parseInt(PCnum) * 10;
    or if (PCnum > 11 && < 20){
        parseInt(PCnum) * 5;
    or if (PCnum > 21){
        parseInt(PCnum) * 1;
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function calculate(event:MouseEvent):void{
    Hnum = num1.text;
    PCnum = num2.text;
    Total = parseInt(Hnum) * calc + parseInt(PCnum);
    Total.toString();
    Total_txt.text = String(Total);
I had everything working when I was only calculating Hnum by 25. But when I try to intergrate the if or statement everything goes wrong and I get these 5 errors.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 15

I dont understand what these errors are pointing out? Why XML? is it my variable names?
Here is the code I had before the second function that worked fine:
var Hnum:String;
var PCnum:String;
var calc:Number = 25;
var Total:Number;
num1.restrict = "0-9";
num2.restrict = "0-9";
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function calculate(event:MouseEvent):void{
     Hnum = num1.text;
     PCnum = num2.text;
     Total = parseInt(Hnum) * calc;
     Total.toString();
     Total_txt.text = String(Total);
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I will get the hang of this!
MrB

Thanks guys you were right it was parse problem with the var type.
I have changed the code adding parseInt where necessary.
I have also added the other functions. But now after it was working fine with just the one function it is doing the strangest thing.
There are no errors, it is running fine but it is outputting the letter "a" instead of any numbers? Is this something to do with the strings? It is most odd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the new code:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var Hnum:String;
var PCnum:String;
var PCcalc:Number;
var Pmath:Number;
var calc:Number = 25;
var Total:Number;
num1.restrict = "0-9";
num2.restrict = "0-9";
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function PartCount(event:MouseEvent):void{
    if (parseInt(PCnum) > 0 && parseInt(PCnum)< 10){
        PCcalc == 1;
    if (parseInt(PCnum) > 11 && parseInt(PCnum)< 20){
        PCcalc == 2;
    if (parseInt(PCnum) > 21 && parseInt(PCnum)<200){
        PCcalc == 3;
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function PartCalc(event:MouseEvent):void{
    if (PCcalc == 1){
        Pmath * 10;
    if (PCcalc == 2){
        Pmath * 5;
    if (PCcalc == 3){
        Pmath * 1;
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function calculate(event:MouseEvent):void{
    Hnum = num1.text;
    PCnum = num2.text;
    Total = parseInt(Hnum) * calc + Pmath;
    Total.toString();
    Total_txt.text = String(Total);
Thanks

1084 Syntax errors. Very basic.

I am very new to flash and I have some very basic code that I need help with.
Here;
var paddlepos:int = paddle.x.position
if; (paddlepos > 253)
    paddle.x.postition = 253;
The errors are:
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 28    1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 27    1084: Syntax error: expecting leftparen before semicolon.
Help would be very helpful. Thanks.

there should be no semi-colon after if.

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before rightparen

Hi,
I am getting the following error when using the below code:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before rightparen.
Code:
Buttons.Btn_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Btn_2ClickHandler);
function Btn_2ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("http://Main/New_Projects/Album-2.htm"), "_self"));
I am getting this error only after adding , "_self")
Please help.

You appear to have one too many right parenthesis in that line. The number of rights should equal the lefts.

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program.

So I'm doing this basic coding thing to make an object "shoot" bullets. It's from a tutorial video. My code matches his exactly unless I'm missing a tiny detail. Basically the code looks like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class bullet extends Sprite {
private var sw:Number;
private var sh:Number;
private const _SPEED:int=-10;
private const _OFFSTAGE:int=-10;
public function bullet():void {
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,onadd);
private function onadd(e:Event):void {
sw=stage.stageWidth;
sh=stage.stageHeight;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
private function loop(e:Event):void {
if (y<_OFFSTAGE) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
parent.removeChild(this);
y-=_SPEED;
}public function removeListeners():void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
And the compiler error I'm getting says this:
Location:bullet.as line 31 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program. Source: }
Location:bullet.as line 31 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program. Source: }
And yes it does say it twice. What's going on?
The vid I'm learning from is this: http://autocad.spinelink.com/adobe-flash-cs4-game-tutorial-shooting.html

You are missing two closing curly braces at the bottom of the package declaration. You need to close the package itself and the class declaration inside.
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class bullet extends Sprite {
          private var sw:Number;
          private var sh:Number;
          private const _SPEED:int=-10;
          private const _OFFSTAGE:int=-10;
          public function bullet():void {
               addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,onadd);
          private function onadd(e:Event):void {
               sw=stage.stageWidth;
               sh=stage.stageHeight;
               addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
          private function loop(e:Event):void {
               if (y<_OFFSTAGE) {
                    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop);
                    parent.removeChild(this);
               y-=_SPEED;
          public function removeListeners():void {

1084: Syntax Error:....; 1086: Syntax Error:..... ????

I'm getting the following Compiler Errors:
tempInit, Line 10 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before null.
tempInit, Line 10 1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before dot.
I'm not writing any external AS files. All of this is basic ActionScript on frame 1 of the main timeline.
Do I need to post the code?

1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before extend

Hi all. Not sure what is going on here. I'm trying to improve my knowledge of AS 3.0. I keep getting this error and this is a snippet of code that I copied and ran it. I keep getting the same error '1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before extend'. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Here is the code.
package
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          public class ActionScriptTest extend MovieClip {
               public function ActionScriptTest(){
                              init();
   private function init():void{
                         var bookTitle:String="Foundations";
        trace(bookTitle);

Thanks Ned. That was it. Thanks for getting me unstuck.

1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before assign.

Hi
I am getting "1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before assign." in flash builder 4.6. My application was working fine before a day but When today i try to install app on device then automatic this error comes.
Please update me when is the problem in my project.
I am trying to build Flex mobile project by using Flash builder 4.6.
Thanks

Well, start with this:
[Bindable]
public var gaugeValue:uint = UIUtils.sum(collector_Array, fld:String="rate");
But, I have no idea what UIUtils.sum does, but you are probably shouldn't be passing in fld:String="rate", it it asks for a String, just pass in rate or the variable fld.
i.e.
[Bindable]
public var gaugeValue:uint = UIUtils.sum(collector_Array, fld);
