Description
Statement; jumps past all remaining statements in the innermost loop and starts the next iteration
of the loop as if control had passed through to the end of the loop normally. It has no effect
outside a loop.
Example
In the following while loop, continue causes the Flash interpreter to skip the rest of the loop
body and jump to the top of the loop, where the condition is tested:
trace("example 1");
var i:Number = 0;
while (i<10) {
if (i%3 == 0) {
i++;
continue;
}
trace(i);
i++;
}
In the following do while loop, continue causes the Flash interpreter to skip the rest of the loop
body and jump to the bottom of the loop, where the condition is tested:
trace("example 2");
var i:Number = 0;
do {
if (i%3 == 0) {
i++;
continue;
}
trace(i);
i++;
} while (i<10);
