1126: Function does not have a body.

[brwnsuga21]

I am trying to use a ranomizer effect in Flash CS 3 using the following code:

desiredText = "Destination: WLS";
dt.text = "";
function randomizer() {
(i<desiredText.length) ? go() : clr();
function go() {
if (dt.text.charAt(i) != desiredText.charAt(i)) {
j++;
dt.replaceText(i, i+1, String.fromCharCode(j));
} else {
i++;
j = 0;
}
}
function clr() }{
clearInterval(intID)
}
intID = setInterval (randomize,10);

When I test the movie I recieve the error message "1126: Function does not have a body.". Since I am new to this I cant seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Please help.

The error is an AS3 error but your code is not AS3. Try setting your Publish Settings to AS1. The code has other issues as well though.

How do I fix it? I will actually be using Flash 8 to publish. I tried setting it back to both AS1 and AS2 and I still get errors. Please help.

Flash 8 means no AS3, so it needs to be in AS1/2.

If you define variables i and j, it should work:

var i = 0;
var j = 0;
var desiredText = "Destination: WLS";
dt.text = "";
function randomizer() {
	i<desiredText.length ? go() : clr();
	function go() {
		if (dt.text.charAt(i) != desiredText.charAt(i)) {
			j++;
			dt.replaceText(i,i+1,String.fromCharCode(j));
		} else {
			i++;
			j = 0;
		}
	}
	function clr() {
		clearInterval(intID);
	}
}
var intID = setInterval(randomizer, 10);
