Problems with loops

[CTT_Mustapha]

Hi.

I'm having some problems with the for loop. For some reason it's saying that the code is making the movie unresponsive but it only has to loop twice. Any ideas what's wrong with this?

onClipEvent(load) {
for(i=0;i<=1;i++) {
this.duplicateMovieClip("ground","ground"+i,i);
_root["ground"+i]._x = ground._x + ground._width;
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._x -= 20;
}


Thanks

change <= to < in the for loop

what's that got to do with anything? Beside's he said he wanted it to loop twice, but that will only loop once...

Sorry this isn't any help, i'm stumped why it would cause your movie to crash. But how do you know this is the code that is causeing it? Is this the only code in the movie or something? When i make a movie that crashes it never tells me which bit is causing it... could you explain a bit more perhaps?

OK i just had a quick mess around... are you putting that code on the mc "ground"?

If so, i know why it'll crash. You copy it.. it fires it's onLoadEvent, which copies it, which fires it's onLoadEvent, which copies it.... Get the idea? El Infinite Loopo.

You'll have to duplicate that movie someplace else...

Ah, that'd be it. I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks a lot

it was my only idea at the time! i only ever use < or > in a loop so it was a guess as for the solution, well spotted jon
