FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

If the condition always evaluates to true, the do..while loop is infinite. If you enter an
infinite loop, you encounter problems with Flash Player and eventually get a warning message
or crash the player. Whenever possible, you should use a for loop if you know the number of
times you want to loop. Although for loops are easy to read and debug, they cannot replace
do..while loops in all circumstances.
Parameters
condition:Boolean - The condition to evaluate. The statement(s) within the do block of
code will execute as long as the condition parameter evaluates to true .
Example
The following example uses a do..while loop to evaluate whether a condition is true, and
traces myVar until myVar is greater than 5. When myVar is greater than 5, the loop ends.
var myVar:Number = 0;
do {
trace(myVar);
myVar++;
}
while (myVar < 5);
/* output:
0
1
2
3
4
