package egobirthdaySWF_fla
{
    import flash.display.*;

    dynamic public class BirthdayTitle_14 extends MovieClip
    {

        public function BirthdayTitle_14()
        {
            addFrameScript(277, frame278);
            return;
        }// end function

        function frame278()
        {
            stop();
            return;
        }// end function
    }
}

Yeah, specifying return types for your functions and typing your variables are the two most common problems to "scan" for as you move back and forth between AS and JS.
