preview won't load

I'm going through the code challenge, and I edited the code properly - pretty sure I have no issues with the syntax. The preview for the task, the Coin Collector mini-game, doesn't load at all - the message shown is 'Bummer: No preview available.'. What is this? Why does this happen?

var player;
var platforms;
var badges;
var stars;
var poisons;
var cursors;

var won = false;
var gameOver = false;
var currentScore = 0;
var lives = 3;
var winningScore = 100;

function createStars() {
    stars = game.add.physicsGroup();

    starCreate(425, 100, 'star');
    starCreate(315, 100, 'star');
    starCreate(175, 200, 'star');

Change the period after 156 to a comma here:

starCreate(400, 156. 'star');
