Hi!

The error is not in the three lines you posted. However, as the error occurs in line 9 of your script, according to the error message, there must be more than these 3 lines. I'm confident that the actual error is somewhere above line 9. It's just that the parser doesn't give up until it realizes theres no possible way to tokenize your input. And it's not until line 9 that it realizes that it's a dead end road it's travelling. ;)

Show us the other 6 lines. I'm quite sure it's a missing semicolon, paren, brace or quote character somewhere above line 9.

So long,
Flexx
