I guess you were using AS2? There is no native RegEx in AS2, though, so I don't see how you were going to use AS3 in AS2. In AS3, you should NEVER use anything other than ints to iterate integer values. Don't use uint, and don't use Number. That code I provided is code I wrote and tested in

And just to add to this, in AS3, I never use Array anymore for the very reason that passing an out of range value returns undefined instead of throwing an out of range error. So, I always use Vector. ___ Flashcoders mailing list

Ah, yes, I thought I has stated that. I am using AS2. I tried setting the Math.random first and then I used Math.floor, that seemed to work, but I put an extra catch and set up a.. if(ranCode == undefined){ ranCode = 0; } and so a zero gets added instead of any undefined and that

The timeout runs after the loop completes. The callback will use the current value of i, and the loop leaves it at 10. So naturally, that is what the timeout will see. I fail to see the purpose of setting a timeout in a loop like this. Just move the loop to inside the timeout. This way, you

You're mixing an instance of the Timer class with setInterval. In order for a timer to run, you have to tell it to start. Secondly, since the method the Timer calls is _addNewFlame - that method needs to have an event specified as an argument. private function
