Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type BitmapData

Question

I'm new to PaperVision3d and FLARToolkit (and AS3 generally). I'm doing a tut on youtube on how to create a augmented reality app. I'm getting a error

Function does not have a body. 

and

return value for function 'loop' has no type declaration.    

on the private function loop. I really cant figure what I am doing wrong. PLZ HELP!!

the code

Answer 1

Change

private function loop(e:Event);void

to

private function loop(e:Event):void

Answer 2

It looks like a typo. In the row

private function loop(e:Event);void

change semicolon to colon like this:

private function loop(e:Event):void
