for loop not working for the life ofme

[pheck]

//item
var sum="";
for (i=0; i < numAuctions; i++) {
	sum += Auction_URL[i] + "\n";
}
trace(sum);
item=sum;

this is on my main timeline with a stop(); after it. numAuctions is a var I have loaded in and it is equal to 4. (I know b/c i traced it right before this code.) Auction_URL[0--->3] give all real values. when i do it manually (no for loop), it works:

item=Auction_URL[0]+"\n"+Auction_URL[1]+"\n"+Auction_URL[2]+"\n"+Auction_URL[3]+"\n";

outputs what it should when i trace. what is the problem here? if you can get this you are a real winner b/c it's been killng me for hours and hours. thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you're not getting any flash player running slowly errors, so I guess the loop is working fine, in which case all I can think of trying is (i'll use j instead of i so it doesn't go italic),

sum="";
for (j = 0; j < numAuctions; j++) {
addToString = Auction_URL[j] + "\n";
sum += addToString;
}

This probably won't work, but it could be worth at least trying

thanks a lot for trying but it still doesn't work. i don't think it's even going into the loop because tracers don't work in there.....

In that case, have you tried doing

for (j = 0; j < 4; j++) {


}

if you're importing numActions from a file maybe its a string "4" not 4 (clutching at straws here )
