ok, i have been trying to create this game, but i am having so many problems. i need your help people.

i am recieving the following errors:

Symbol=Die, Layer=Layer 3, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by ‘}’  
on (release) {

Symbol=Die, Layer=Layer 3, Frame=1: Line 42: Syntax error.

this is the code for it:

on (release) {  
display = Math.round(Math.random()\*5)+1;  
if (display==1) {  
\_root.Die.gotoAndStop(1);

```
}
if (display==2) {
	_root.Die.gotoAndStop(2);
	
}
if (display==3) {
	_root.Die.gotoAndStop(3);
	
}
if (display==4) {
	_root.Die.gotoAndStop(4);
	
}
if (display==5) {
	_root.Die.gotoAndStop(5);
}
else if (display==6) {
	_root.Die.gotoAndStop(6);
	
}

```

PlayerNewPosition = PlayerPosition + display;  
PlayerPosition = PlayerNewPosition;

```
Player._x = _root[PlayerNewPosition]._x;
Player._y = _root[PlayerNewPosition]._y;

if (squares[PlayerNewPosition]!=0)
{
}
PlayerNewPosition = squares[PlayerNewPosition]

PlayerPosition = PlayerNewPosition;

Player._x = _root[PlayerNewPosition]._x;
Player._y = _root[PlayerNewPosition]._y;

```
