[metaas-dev] No viable alternative error

[Thomas Pfeiffer]

Hi Dave,

Well I think I can reorganize this file for the moment to make it compliant
with METAAS.

I know that a rethink approach would take some time that you may not have
currently. But in the other hand I'm pretty sure that sooner we do this, the
best it is :)

THe project shall be ready for this week, so for now, except if there's some
other major problems, I'll do with this current release :) Don't worry about
my project, it's for an Open source Actionscript tool, so no commercial
problems behind it.

Best,
Thomas
