WHen you went back into the applescript editor from the dialog it should have told you that Movie was highlighted. The editor is not recognizing movie as a class of "quicktime player" and so it is assuming the word movie is actually a variable (identifier) but in syntactically a class is required in that sentence. I am looking at the code now and will get back on how to fix...
