How to make a variable loop in actionscript 3 - actionscript-3

Question

I'm trying to make a loop that won't crash my flash application. I want variable CN to go from 1 to 10, and then 10 turns into 1 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1....). This is what I have so far...
var CN:int = 1;
for(int CN = 1; CN<100; CN++);
NumberCounter.text = String(CN);
Please help. I don't get this at all :( I'm a novice programmer so a lot of things I do won't make much sense.

Answer 1

Your question is a bit unclear. Are you trying to go from 1 to 10 then from 10 to 1 once (20 steps) or to go back and forth between 1 and 10 in 100 steps ?
If it's the first, you can try something like this:
for(var i:int = 0, j:int = 0; i < 20; i++){
if(i < 10) j++;
else j--;
trace(j);//put this in your text field
}
if it's the second:
for(var i:int = 0; j:int = 1, k:int = 0; i < 100; i++){
if(i % 10 == 0) j *= -1; //every 10 steps flip (multiply by -1) the increment direction(increase/decrease)
k += j;//increment k based on j which will either increase or decrease
trace(k);//use this value
}
However the textfield will update right away. If you want to display this change in time you can use the ENTER_FRAME event to increment (rather than the for loop) or a tween engine to animate the value

Answer 2

For an infinite loop:
while(true){
for(var CN:int=1; CN <= 10; CN ++) NumberCounter.text = String(CN);
}
To do it 10 times, which looks like your code is hinting at:
for (int x= 0; x< 10; x++){
for(var CN:int=1; CN <= 10; CN ++) NumberCounter.text = String(CN);
}

Answer 3

Try this
if(CN>1)
{
var CN:int = 1;
for(int CN = 1; CN<10; CN++);
NumberCounter.text = String(CN);
}
else
{
}

Answer 4

var Numberofwins = 0;
CN.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
function checkFrame(event:Event):void{
if(CN.currentFrame == 11){
CN.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
Submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CheckIf8);
function CheckIf8(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(CN.currentFrame == 8)
{
Numberofwins++;
trace (Numberofwins);
Scorebox.text = String(Numberofwins);
}
else
{
gotoAndStop("Loose1");
}
}
This was my solution
