Saving as .xfl might allow you to search (and possibly replace) through the

Good suggestion.
I've currently managed to extract all of the actionscript using the
MovieExplorer, but gosh it's a needle in a haystack!
Thanks,

On the face of it this is a simple thing to solve, but it's driving me
nuts.
I am trying to update an AS2 project for a client to AS3. The code
naturally contains code all over the place, attached to buttons and on the
timeline.
The problem for me is that there is a LOT of code disributed over loads of
frames, inside movieclips and on the timeline.
I'm using Flash CS6. For the most part the compiler is helpful, but on
this occasion finding the source of the problem is very hard, and by source
I mean the actual source code where the error is, not just a solution.
Generally the error is along the lines of
*frame 1, line 1 **1086 syntax error expecting semicolon before leftbrace*
..repeated LOADS of times.
If the problem really was on frame 1, line 1 of the main timeline, it
would be great, but it's not. SOmetimes as I experiment with removing
frames, etc, the frame number changes.
By temporarily removing frames from the main timeline, and making layers
into guides, I can narrow the generation of the errors to specific symbols.
Unfortunately it's slow to do this and there's loads of nested sympols and
a lot of animation frames.
It's a nightmare.
Any ideas for finding where these are originating from without searching
painfully through the source?
I should say that other errors are correctly identified and their location
shown. No issues with those and now I only have these 1086 errors left.
I have taken the AS2 fla, copied all of the frames and layers into an AS3
project and the errors are there.
