Invalid CFML construct error with Simple ColdBox Application

Question

I want to make a simple ColdBox application. So I used the instructions in this link and downloaded coldbox_3.5.2. But when I try to view this url in my browser:

 http://127.0.0.1/coldbox_3.5.2/samples/

I am getting following error :

Invalid CFML construct found on line 28 at column 22.

ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
{

The CFML compiler was processing:

A script statement beginning with this.flash on line 28, column 9.
A cfscript tag beginning on line 12, column 2.

As I am trying this for the first time, I have no idea what is causing the error. Can anyone help me understand the error?

is it 8 or 8.01? As per coldbox doc, it needs 8.01 http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/Installation.cfm — JS Mitrah, Aug 27 '12 at 08:24

The error is because CF8 (build 8,0,0,176276) did not support nested inline structs.

As per its requirements, ColdBox needs CF 8.0.1 (build 8,0,1,195765) or above.
