Flow Control

ActionStep Reference » Programming » Flow Control

With Flow Control you can control the order of specific ActionSteps to be executed in an ActionScript. For example, you can branch depending on a certain condition, execute a group of ActionSteps repeatedly in a loop (iteration), continue execution at a different position (jump), or execute sections in parallel, i.e. independently of each other and at the same time.

If: Execute one or more statements based on the evaluation of a conditional expression.
For Loop: Repeatedly execute a block of statements a specified number of times.
For Each: Iterate through each item in a collection.
Repeat Until: Execute a block of statements until a specified condition is true.
While: Execute a block of statements as long as a specified condition is true.
Break: Exit the current loop iteration prematurely.
Label: Mark a position in the code to which you can later jump using a GoTo statement.
GoTo: Jump to a position marked by a label.
Parallel: Execute multiple branches of code simultaneously.
On Error Continue: Resume execution with the next statement after the one that caused an error.
On Error GoTo: Redirect execution to a label if an error occurs within the specified scope.
Abort On Error: Stop the current script execution when an error is encountered.
Abort: Terminate the current script execution immediately and abnormally.
