You are probably using a invalid character somewhere. Check your code you misstyped something, or forgot to close a statement or forgot a simbol.

The problem is that nothing was typed. I cannot even open the Javascript. I haven't opened unitron or typed anything.

This sounds like you're opening the file from Windows explorer rather than Unity.

If you double click on a .js file in Windows it will try to run it using Windows Script Host. If it's a Unityscript file, it won't be able to run it (because Unity javascript is not even vaguely javascript) and you will get messages like the one listed above.

To open the file double click it in the Unity editor. This will open the entire project in MonoDevelop, which is where you want to start.
