im using a tutorial that says the following code plays at least once

a = 0
for(i=min; i<100; i++){
a++;
trace("this loop is working")
}

it doesn't even trace once so i'm assuming it didn't play at all

also this code doesn't play once either:

a = 0
i = min
while(i<100){
a++;
i++;
trace("this loop is working")
}

same problem here no trace

Well i'm not actionscripter, i hate the stuff but i'm thinking that your problem with the first line...

Just looked up the FOR loop in actionscript and the only error i can actually see with your code is you don't have a space between
the ){ at the end of the first line.

Another thing is, have you declared "min" that you use in the loop? I think for even actionscript you must declare it.
For example

Dim i as integer
For i = 1 to 10
<code here>
Next I

Is it bring up any errors?

Hope it helps.

ok first of all.. why you telling i=min? you didn't define min yet...
anyways, FOR loops are being written like this:

a = 0;
for(i=0; i<100; i++){
	a++;
	trace("this loop is working"+i); //added the variable I to check the nice numbers :p
}

your second actionscript has the same problem.. you didn't defined "min" anywhere.. from where should flash know what min means?
so again the right code would be:

a = 0;
i = 50;
while(i<100){
	a++;
	i++;
	trace("this loop is working");
}

Everything cool now?

Have fun

Yeah, I think the problem is that the book im using isn't very accurate it says
that it would work and play just once. Thanks for solving my problem.
