oddo jespersen,

Yeah, Flash is just telling you that your code (attached to an MC) must be contained in one of the following clip events :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

//statement here

}

enterFrame can be replaced with, load, Unload, Mouse down, Mouse up, Mouse move, Key down, Key up, Data.

unless you are specifically trying to add code to a movie clip or button, you should click on a time line frame before adding code.
