Import Motion XML "Identifier" Issue

Hello I’m new to Animate,

When I try to run “Import Motion XML” command whilst selecting the symbol on the stage, It spits out an error saying:

At line 1 of file “MotionXML.jsfl”:
SyntaxError: xml is a reserved identifier

I looked up online what is causing this just to be turned towards 1 unsolved question and adobe’s help page on how to import XML files. Is there an updated version of the command?

Hi.

 

Do you have some code written somewhere else in the FLA?

 

Please let us know.

 

Regards,

JC

I looked closer at it, It runs a script that runs another script in the files which should output the motion however it errors somewhere in the second script.
