Menu List & Buttons Not Showing in flash MX! Please HELP!!

I am taking over a project that another designer scripted. There are some navigation buttons to the left of the site that do not appear. You can click on them and they take you to the correct page but the text just does not appear for some reason. Also, if you click on the 3rd button it will take you to the contact form but if you scroll all the way to the bottom the text for the submit and reset buttons is missing also. I've been scowing the code trying to find out what's going on and I can't find a thing. Can anyone help me out.

When I am in debugging mode this is the error message I get when I go to publish;

Symbol=Text7, Layer=Layer 2, Frame=1: Line 2: Unexpected '<' encountered
<not set yet> = "";

Symbol=Text7, Layer=Layer 2, Frame=1: Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
tellTarget ("blip") {

Symbol=Text7, Layer=Layer 2, Frame=1: Line 6: Unexpected '}' encountered
}

Target not found: Target="_root.content.new" Base="_level0"
