Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

Here's my code on my main timeline; and it makes each movie clip (A, B, C, D, E) 'glow' when mousing-over.
Why do I keep getting this error message?

Thanks

because that code is attached to a movieclip or button and should be attached to a frame.

Actually kglad, the code is on a frame, not attached to a movie clip or button. The code is on it's own layer on frame one of the main timeline.

I figured out what I did wrong there kglad. You were right - I had the code attached to a movie clip (the parent of the movie clip that the correct code is on the timeline of). In other words, I had code in two different places, so eliminated the code from the parent movie clip and the error disappeared.
Thanks!

you're welcome.
