Im' not sure what is going on but it is interfering with my ability to debug. it is action script

package {
import flash.display;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.*;:

public class assgn extends Sprite
{ 

    public function assgn()
    {
      var request = new URLRequest("C:\Users\Fujitsu User\Desktop\projects folder09_10");
      var loader = new Loader();
      loader.load(request);

      addChild(loader);

      loader.x = 100;
      loader.scaleY = 0.5;

      var recA:Sprite = new Sprite();

      graphics.beginFill(0xFFF010);
      graphics.lineStyle(1);
      graphics.drawRect(0, 380, 50, 20);
      addChild(recA);

        recA.x = 300;
        recA.y = 300;
        recA.scaleX = 2;

        graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
     }
   }
 }

Answer 1

As for the time being i cant comment, or edit your post I will suggest you to reformat your post to include all the code inside the tags.

Also, there is a semicolon after (is that a typo or is in your actual code...remove it) Error 1084 is the general error number for syntax errors.

import flash.net.*;:

Another thing is that you are loading a folder(?), the path you have in your loader has no file type.

As a pointer, there is this blog Actionscript Errors that is a repository of AS3 common errors.

Answer 2

• As suggested, removing the : from the end of import flash.net.*;: will fix the rightbrace/leftbrace error.
• As for the var colour warning, there is no such variable in this file; locate the class in which you are declaring var colour and add private or public or protected to that line as applicable.

• Apart from referring to a folder as already pointed out, "C:\Users\Fujitsu User\Desktop\projects folder09_10" is also wrong syntactically. You have to escape backslashes in strings.

  The corrected string is : "C:\\Users\\Fujitsu User\\Desktop\\projects folder09_10"

• import flash.display; is wrong, change it to import flash.display.*;
• The method moveRecA is not defined.
