Answer 1

You're missing a couple of ending parenthesis and semi-colons.

This should work, although I don't code in RPG, I'd suggest giving it a shot. :)

//on the first keyframe press f9 and type

score = 0;

hp=100;

currentslotnum = 1;

stop();

function addToSlot(item) {

if (!item.found) (

item._x = eval ("ItemSlot" currentslotnum);

item._y = eval ("ItemSlot" currentslotnum);

item.found=true;

currentslotnum ;

)

}

Answer 2

It's almost certainly a syntax error, and it's quite likely complaining about something that yahoo clipped.  Try posting the code on http://www.pastebin.com (which is free) and let us know it's there so we can see it working.
