Can a For loop run within an interval?

[hts5000]

This may be a shot in the dark but does anyone know if you can run a For loop within an interval? I am running the below code and for whatever reason when I run “barPosDwn()” without the interval (press and release the button) the For loop runs just fine. However when I run “barPosDwn()” from and interval (press and hold the button) the trace on the For loop comes back undefined.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sDSS_btn.onPress = function(){
    barPosDwn();
    var barPosDwnTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
    barPosDwnTimerFun(barPosDwnTime);
}
sDSS_btn.onRelease = function(){
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    clearInterval(barPosDwnInt);
}
function barPosDwnTimerFun(barPosDwnTime) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if ((getTimer()/1000)-barPosDwnTime>.25) {
            barPosDwnInt = setInterval(barPosDwn, _root.intervalSpeed);
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
    };
}
function barPosDwn() {
    optionBar = int((setOpBar._y)*10)/10;
    if (ok == true) {
        if (optionBar>=151.9 && optionBar<=281.9) {
            ok = false;
            endP = optionBar+26;
            motionT = new Tween(setOpBar, "_y", Regular.easeInOut, optionBar, endP, .4, true);
            //this prevents the bar from going out of sequence
            motionT.onMotionFinished = function() {
                ok = true;
            };
        } else if (optionBar == 307.9 && set11._y != 311.8) {//This controls the MC movement
            ok = false;
            for (i=1; i<12; i++) {
                this["set"+i]._y -= 26;
                trace(this["set"+i]._y);
            }
            ok = true;
        }
    }
}

I didnt look very long..

but sometimes when using THIS in a function can lead to path trouble..

try to hardcode first to see if this is the problem.

Thanks Whispers!!! I was scratching my head for a day over that.

[whispers]

was that it then?

I barely looked at your supplied code.. and that was first thing that caught my eye is all..

if its not..I can look a better look..(later)

Yup, that was it. The code above was located in a clip that was located in another clip so replacing "this" with "_root.mc1.mc2" fixed the issue. I knew the code "should" have worked so it was really throwing me for a loop. This is a new weird bug that I just have to be aware of in the future. Thanks again for your help!
