I have a flash file that was created in 5 and works fine. The actionscript shows errors, however, when I attempt to edit it in MX and the output swf file doesn’t work properly. It loops continuously. Console output shows "Expected a field name after ‘.’ operator.  
\_root.nav\_text\_main.default = “C O N T A C T”; for every instance of my \_root.nav\_text in actionscript.  
Any ideas or help? I would be happy to send the fla file for help.
