ERROR: bad command flexfile - Developers

I don't know what I did wrong, but for some reason, my compiler doesn't want to give Kazooie her VTA animations.I've tried to figure out what's wrong, but seeing as how I'm new to VTA files, I'm flying with hard to see through sun-glasses on.

Flex definitions? How do I define them?
