In flash 8.1 this code works fine,  
but in 8.2 it says:

layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Syntax error.  
Xmin = refrect:\_x;

Numstars = 100;  
Numlevels = 6;  
Xmin = refrect:\_x;  
ymin = refrect:\_y;  
Xmax = refrect:\_width;  
Ymax = refrect:\_height;  
t = 1;  
while (Number(t)\<Number(numstars)) {  
duplicateMovieClip(“star”, t, t);  
xspeed = int((t/numstars)_numlevels);  
setProperty(t, \_x, Number(random(xmax))+Number(xmin));  
setProperty(t, \_y, Number(random(ymax))+Number(ymin));  
setProperty(t, \_xscale, xspeed_20);  
setProperty(t, \_yscale, xspeed\*20);  
tellTarget (t) {  
xspeed = xspeed;  
}  
t = Number(t)+1;  
}  
setProperty(“star”, \_visible, 0);  
setProperty(“refrect”, \_visible, 0);
