How come my actionscript doesn’t work?

As:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown (SPACE))  
this.gotoAndStop (2)  
} else {this.gotoAndStop (1)  
}

Flash says the else does not match the if. And I’m stumped. So could some Flash Guru come gliding down from the sky to save me? ( :phil: )

Thanks 🙂
