Can any bright sparks suggest why this code only works in player 6 or below?

var grow = 2;

var speed = .50;

var elastic = .55;

movieclip.prototype.initScale = function() {  
this.myScale = this.\_xscale;  
};

Movieclip.prototype.elasticScale = function() {  
if (this.over == true) {  
this.theScale = this.theScale_speed+((this.myScale_\_root.grow)-this.\_xscale)_elastic;  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale += this.theScale;  
} else {  
this.theScale = this.theScale_speed+(this.myScale-this.\_xscale)\*elastic;  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale += this.theScale;  
}  
};

movieclip.prototype.onEnterFrameKiller = function() {  
//trace(“running”);  
if (this.x\>70) {  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
this.x = 0;  
//trace(“stopped”);  
}  
++this.x;  
};

movieclip.prototype.moveTheButts = function() {  
this.x = 0;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.elasticScale();  
this.onEnterFrameKiller();  
};  
};
