break a loop from a function?

[marmotte]

basically i want to break a for loop from an external function, like that:

for (i=0; i<=10; i++) {
    test(5);
    trace(i);
}
function test(value) {
    if (i == value) {
        break;
    }
} 

is there a way? i want to avoid that:

for (i=0; i<=10; i++) {
        if (i == 5) {
        break;
    }
    trace(i);
} 

why avoid that above code if it's so simple? because in my game it looks more like:

for (i=0; i<=10; i++) {
 function_a(x)
 function_b(x)
 function_c(x)
 function_d(x)
 function_e(x)
 ...etc
} 

do you see the point? if the first function (here function_a) is true, then the for loop is broken and all the other functions below ignored...

maybe there's a way to target that for loop with that break command? something like _parent.break;, or give that for loop a name...

thanks in advance for the infos.
