[Flashcoders] The Amazing infinite call stack, part 2

A for loop wouldn't give we any way to pause for input, or to wait and let the UI animate to reflect the last command's doings, though. I need a way to avoid recursion, not use it. Ideally: 1. advance to next command. 2. execute command. 3. Wait for command to finish. 4. repeat 1-3 in some way

You might look into using a Finite State Machine. They are a great way to do command sequencing, and are incredibly useful in game programming for lots of things, from updating the UI to building enemy AI behaviors. There's some good Flash-based FSM info at http://www.flashsim.com . -- andy
