ActionScript is a crappy language, it's used in Flash movies. Since it was created to be used by webdesigners, there are lots of failsafe devices, including an "infinity loop detector". No more than 100.000 iterations, as I remember. Of course real programmers hated the thing, it created lots of weird bugs, because if you can't trust your loops... terrorists win ;) On Sat, 21 Apr 2007 13:23:10 +0200 (CEST) Pavel Kankovsky <peak () argo troja mff cuni cz> wrote: PK> On Wed, 18 Apr 2007 Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote: PK> PK> > So - other than "it has already burned more than N seconds of CPU", what PK> > test do you propose to make?
