Dynamic Text Looping

[Quijian]

I have been using the for loop statement to create a loop and I would like to display the values generated by the loop statement in a text box.

port=0
do {
port=port+1
change.text=port
} while (port<9999);

"Change" is a dynamic text box. All I keep getting is the end result, which is 9999. It is blank for a while, then immediately jumps to 9999 Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It's because the whole loop executes on one frame - you'll only ever see the end result this way. If you want to see the display count up you could do something like this:

port = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	change.text = port;
	(port<9999) ? port++ : delete (this.onEnterFrame);
};

I tried that, and nothing happened...thanks anyway...

Do I need to insert 9999 frames?
