Flash CS5: AS3: Weird XML errors?

I was working with one of the pre made templates in CS5, the "advanced slideshow presentation" one, all of the sudden I went to get a publish preview and it spit out a whole bunch of xml errors, which I am unfamiliar with.

SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 14  1104: invalid xml name
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1084: Syntax error: expecting xmltagendend before end of program.
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1100: Syntax error: XML does not have matching begin and end tags.
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1100: Syntax error: XML does not have matching begin and end tags.
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1100: Syntax error: XML does not have matching begin and end tags.
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before end of program.
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program.
SlidesMovieClip_2, Line 253 1073: Syntax error: expecting a catch or a finally clause.

As far as I know, a "SlideshowMovieClip_2" doesn't even exist? I'm not sure what is going on but I will leave the code and hopefully you guys can figure something!

code:

Sorry, but there is missing information here. The code you posted does not look like it relates to your errors.

I see an 'invalid xml name' error - did you rename any xml variables, move files, or otherwise alter an xml file? If so, retrace your steps and undo whatever you did.

As for the second set if errors, it looks like you erased a bracket by mistake. You're going to have to dig in and find whatever code is driving 'slidesMovieClip_2' and find the missing brace.

hope that steers you in the right direction ---
