Hi,

I am getting the following errors for this code:  
AS3 Code:

```auto
var xmlcontents:String = {firstName} {lastName} {numbtrial};

```

Error:  
1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before rightbrace.  
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.  
1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before leftbrace.  
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program.

Where it goes wrong?

Thanks.
