[metaas-dev] No viable alternative error

[kiroukou]

Hey,
No in fact it seems that this error occurs when I have some errors in  
my code.
I mean sometimes the AS2 ported code has some myMethod( Void ):Void  
code, which is not AS3 compliant of course.
And the lexer make this kind of no viable alternative thing.

Even if in french  we are using some special characters, I think it  
is better for metass to not support them. Except if it does ot affect  
performance in any way.

So the problem sounds to be something else. I come back later with  
more information before resquesting this non-ascii handling ;)
