Usage
for (init; condition; next) {
statement(s);
}
Parameters
init An expression to evaluate before beginning the looping sequence, typically an
assignment expression.
condition An expression that evaluates to true or false. The condition is evaluated
before each loop iteration; the loop exits when the condition evaluates to
false.
next An expression to evaluate after each loop iteration; usually an assignment expression
using the increment (
++) or decrement (--) operator.
statement(s) One or more instructions to execute in the loop.
Description
Statement; a loop construct that evaluates the init (initialize) expression once and then
begins a looping sequence by which, as long as the
condition evaluates to true, statement
is executed, and the next expression is evaluated.
Some properties cannot be enumerated by the
for or for..in statements. For example,
movie clip properties, such as
_x and _y, are not enumerated.
Example
The following example uses the for loop to sum the numbers from 1 to 100:
sum = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
sum = sum + i;
}
