hahah.. even worse...

While(1){
}

Yeah... but AS3 is much faster just due to the fact that they now require you to use OOP. They optimized the language so that Math.random() would compute faster in AS3 than random() would in AS2.

Nice first post. Nive AS I have done some of these before, here's another one.

i=2;
if(i<=2){
poo;
} else if(i>=2){
poop;
}

That gives your PC a headache, well mine, mines crap :(

Just when you thought for loops were all cute and safe:

for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i ++){
i --;
}

One line :P

while(true){}

Infinite loops been posted enough? :P

Alright, heres one. In a loop you might forget you're already incrementing an index variable, and decide to increment it inside the for loop. Or maybe you meant to increment twice. Basically that means every loop you'd be skipping an index. This wouldn't be a problem if you use i++, but sometimes ++i is necessary when accessing array indexs. Which means if the length is an odd number you'd reach an undefined index.

eg. You might be loading multiple swfs and after the first one, on trying to load another the swf freezes. This may be why.

[code]var arr:Array = new Array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i")
;

for(var i:Number = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
{
trace(arr[++i]);
}[/code]

Note that in the for arguments, ++i and i++ both work. I use ++i because it's a little bit faster, since a temporary variable doesn't need to be created.

What does it all mean joey?!? Loops are anything but cute: watch them with a suspicious eye.

Are you serious? No BB code, formatting, or edit button? Hahahaha interesting.

[B]CODE:[/B]
[I]var arr:Array = new Array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i")
;

for(var i:Number = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
{
trace(arr[++i]);
}[/I]

[B]OUTPUT:[/B]
[I]b
d
f
h
undefined[/I]

WTF, HTML brackets, I give up. :(

Very very bad for my computer , everytime i run this , Flash will Crash(LOL ,IT RYMES!):
while(hitTest(_root.ground)){
//This part below is what causes the crash
_y = _y-1;
}
//PS: DON'T EVER USE THIS CODE! I LOST ONE OF MY DOCUMENTS ONCE!

This is what it should be:
while(hitTest(_root.ground)){
_y--;
}
//This code is part of my platformer engine
