I'm having a problem when I did my final compiler test, it gave me this error after running fine until the end. Here's the error:

Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified.

  at flash.display::DisplayObject/set name()

  at MainDocument()

Any help would be highly appreciated, so I can get this turned in.

many actionscript error messages are cryptic but that one means exactly what it says:  you have something on stage to which you've assign an instance name (in the properties panel) and you're trying to also assign a name property using actionscript.

remove one or the other.
