Actionscript 3.0 Classroom in a Book tutorial code doesn't work

The following code is taken from Actionscript 3.0 Classroom in a Book, chapter 5.  It only produces a flickering empty image on the stage.  Can anyone see why?  The supposed error messages don't seem to point to any errors.

Correct answer Ned Murphy

It looks like you used a 1 where a lower case L is intended (as in ldr - short for loader)

Those numbers aren't in the malfunctioning Actions frame.  I only added them to the text file copied here so that I could better track the error messages to lines of script.  Thanks for your prompt reply.

I don`t refer to the Line numbers you put in there, but to the fundtion names.

A function/var cannot have a leading number.

so all the functions like

1dr1 are invalid

for starters: functions can not start with numbers.

rename all your functions and report back.
