Syntax error: else is unexpected.in my code drag and drop

[kattan]

this is my code

var hits = 0;
tom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
tom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var object = evt.target;
// we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
object.startDrag();
}
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var obj = evt.target;

var target = obj.dropTarget;

if (target == food && obj == tom){
}

obj.visible=false;
{

}
}

else if (target != food && obj == tom)

{

obj.x=1051.05
obj.y=135.05

}

----------

!= imean by it:that if target doesn't equals food

if is that right,why this error appears?

Hi.

Your code has several formatting mistakes. The main one is that your else if statement is outside the function body.

I believe your code should be something like this :

var hits = 0;

tom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
tom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);

function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent): void
{
	var object = evt.target;
	object.startDrag();
}

function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent): void
{
	var obj = evt.target;
	var target = obj.dropTarget;

	if (target == food && obj == tom)
	{
		obj.visible = false;
	}
	else if (target != food && obj == tom)
	{
		obj.x = 1051.05;
		obj.y = 135.05;
	}
}

Please notice that I'm only looking at formatting and not functionality here.

hello,i had edited the code,now there is not a proplem with ( else ) but another proplem appeared.

( if ) condetion itself ,here is the code

var hits = 0;
tom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
tom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var object = evt.target;
// we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
object.startDrag();
}
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var obj = evt.target;

var target = obj.dropTarget;

if (target == food && obj == tom)
{

obj.visible=false;

}
else {
obj.x=1051.05;
obj.y=135.05;
obj.stopDrag();
}

}

the proplem is in this part 

obj.visible=false;

it doesn't work

please i need a help
