I feel stupid. Anyways, this code won’t work:

```auto
 setProperty ("Main Topic",value,"hello") 

```

It says:

> **Error** Symbol=Left Frame - Communism, layer=Main Bar, frame=1:Line 1: **Property name expected in GetProperty.**  
> setProperty (“Main Topic”,value,“hello”)  
> Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

What am I doing wrong?  
Thanks.
