problem importing movie clip into flash movie

the imported movie clip won'r function in the main movie

[balla]

hi all!
i'm going *MAD*! :( can someone please help me:

i'm a flash newbie. i found this mouse trailer, that i edited so that it's perfect for me. works swell in it's own preview. it's in actionscript 1,0. i guess that's where the problem lies: when i try to import it into my main movie as a movie clip, the trailer (consists of 3 object's) won't budge. it actually shows in my library as graphic, not movie clip. so i tried to export the trailer movie into flash 7/actionscript 2 format, but it gives me this error message:

**Error** Symbol=FB - Flying Text, layer=Actions, frame=3:Line 13: Syntax error.
char0:Xpos = getProperty("char0", _x);

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

in the trailer movie there arfe 3 frames containing action sript, but this is the only mistake that my flash mx 2004 reports when trying to play the thing. i include the entire code in that particular frame here:

i = 1;
while (Number(i)<=Number(n)) {
if (Number(Circle) == 1) {
set("char" add i add ":Xspeed", ((eval("Xspacing" add i) - eval("char" add i add ":Xpos") + eval("char" add (i-1) add ":Xpos"))/a) + (eval("char" add i add ":Xspeed"))/d);
} else {
set("char" add i add ":Xspeed", ((eval("Xspacing" add i) - eval("char" add i add ":Xpos") + eval("char" add (i-1) add ":Xpos"))/a + eval("char" add i add ":Xspeed"))/d);
}
set("char" add i add ":Yspeed", ((eval("Yspacing" add i) + eval("char" add (i-1) add ":Ypos") - eval("char" add i add ":Ypos"))/a) + (eval("char" add i add ":Yspeed"))/d);
set("char" add i add ":Xpos", eval("char" add i add ":Xpos")+eval("char" add i add ":Xspeed"));
set("char" add i add ":Ypos", eval("char" add i add ":Ypos")+eval("char" add i add ":Yspeed"));
i = Number(i)+1;
}
char0:Xpos = getProperty("char0", _x);
char0:Ypos = getProperty("char0", _y);
i = 1;
while (Number(i)<=Number(n)) {
setProperty("char" add i, _x, eval("char" add i add ":Xpos"));
setProperty("char" add i, _y, eval("char" add i add ":Ypos"));
i = Number(i)+1;
}

...and that's it! the trailer won't move anywhere in my movie. i'm doing these pages as a favor to a friend, and it took me already 3 days just to find a nice trailer that i was able to modify... and now the *** will not move in the movie where it's supposed to. i've tried and tried and TRIED, so PLEASE someone relief me from this agony! is there a solution? did i provide you with enough info?

thank you sooo much,
balla
