Funny, in one swf this comes out as “this script contains no errors”.

In another swf, it’s endless “Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler” error messages. Anyone want to take a stab at as to why?

this.onRollOver = function(){  
this.\_parent.attachMovie(“bigPeacock”,“this.\_parent.picbox\_mc”, 1);  
this.\_parent.container\_mc.myTextFieldInstance.text = “About Us, Contact us”;  
rewind = false;  
play();  
}

this.onRollOut = function(){  
this.\_parent.attachMovie(“clear”,“this.\_parent.picbox\_mc”, 1);  
rewind = true;  
\_parent.container\_mc.myTextFieldInstance.text = " "  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
gotoandplay(50);  
}

stop();
