Flash AS3 Helps: For Loop Statement in Flash AS3 ( ActionScript3)

Posted February 2008 by Dan

I used the For loop statement all the time in ActionScript 2.0 for all sorts of things: traversing XML nodes, creation of arrays; assign values to symbol instances, etc. The For statement is very valuable in my opinion and should be in every ActionScripter’s toolbox.

In AS3, the For statement’s syntax is just a little different but still works the same.  Here is a quick sample:

var myArray:Array = new Array();
for (var z:Number = 0; z < 11; z++) {
myArray[z] = (z + 1) * 2;
}
trace(myArray);
//this tracet: 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22
