             Summary: for-each loops cross-compile incorrectly
                 Key: FLEX-34984
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34984
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Falcon, FlexJS
    Affects Versions: Apache FlexJS 0.5.0
            Reporter: Andy Dufilie


When you write a for-each loop, the iterable gets re-evaluated on every 
iteration.

Example code:
        for each (var item:Object in Test.getItems()) {
                Test.doSomething(item);
        }
Cross-compiled:
  for (var foreachiter0 in Test.getItems()) 
  {
  var item = Test.getItems()[foreachiter0];
  {
    Test.doSomething(item);
  }}

It should not call Test.getItems() on every loop iteration. Instead, it should 
generate a new local variable prior to entering the loop to store the result.

I believe the offending code is reduce_forLoop() in JSGeneratingReducer.java:
