Re: for my ...

[John J Reiser <jreiser@newrisedesigns.com>]

I've used a similar construct (using foreach) and never had any problem (AS 
5.6.1).

I also under the impression that for and foreach are interchangeable, 
though I can't be 100% sure.

The construct you mentioned should be valid. What error(s) have you been 
getting?

Hope this helps,
John
