Did I hear someone say 'fancy?' The best loop. isn't one! Especially if you have other mechanisms, like events, that can help reduce the cost of keeping track of a particular item. I've coded two classes; Thing and ThingCollection as an example.

Basically, I just want to detect when all elements of my array have a "selected" property set to false. Here's my code: var numThings:int = things.length; for (var i:int=0;i<numThings;i++){ if(!numThings[i].selected){ // } } I know I'm not using the correct loop, I just can't figure out how to better approach this problem. Any tips are very much appreciated. Thank you.
