Re: [Flashcoders] 1086 syntax error expecting semicolon before leftbrace
I managed to isolate a small part of the project and copied it to a new project - just to experiment. Running as AS2 lost the problematic error completely. Running again as AS3 saw it restored. Despite the compiler saying that it ignores actionscript attached to symbols, that seems to be the problem. Removing an on (release) handler in the AS2 code sees the error go away when building as an AS3 project.
