tempInit, Line 2, Column 14 1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before minus.

Hey! First time posting here, I am a student taking classes on flash. I use Flash CC and obviously AS3. I've got a project I am working on, and have encountered a very frustrating problem. I have emailed my teacher but I thought I would ask around the web as well.

I get a compiler error saying:

I have tried commenting out the entire script, and I still get the same error. The weird thing is there is nothing on line 2, column 14. Line two simply reads:

stop();

I've also considered that I had some symbols named after keywords or with illegal characters that could somehow be causing this issue. It turns out I did, so I changed all suspected items to more appropriate names. Yet even after I did this, the error persists. I cannot find any other explanation as to why this error occurs at this point, hence why I am turning to the internet.

A notable factor here is that I have imported items from illustrator cs5, some of which had illustrator symbols included. These were the culprits with the first issue of illegal and keyword names; examples: "Mountain1-2" and "New Symbol"

Many thanks,

Lee

I'll paste my code here:
