Actionscript loops are used to perform an action over and over again. For example if I want to type the word Actionscript 100 times, I will need to use trace("ActionScript") 100 times. It will really become difficult, if I want to do the same task 1000 times. The way around is to use actionscript loops.
The syntax for actionscript for loops is given here
for(initialization; condition; update){
//perform this task
}
Let's have a look at a practicle example of actionscript for loop example
var i:uint;
for(i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
trace("Actionscript");
}
//this actionscript example will output the word Actionscript 10 times
