Hi, so I have a class method that contains a for loop … however, each time I call the class method, the for loop counter continues to count from where it left off! Agh - can anyone help me make sure the loop counter get’s reset?  
[AS]  
[//sliders.length](https://sliders.length) = 5

private function test():void  
{  
var i:Number = 0;  
for (i=0; i\<sliders.length; i++)  
{  
var time:Number = i\*0.5;  
trace(‘i:’+i+’ | time:’+time);  
}  
}

tmp.test();  
tmp.test();  
[/AS]  
This traces:  
i:0 | time:0  
i:1 | time:0.5  
i:2 | time:1  
i:3 | time:1.5  
i:4 | time:2

i:5 | time:2.5  
i:6 | time:3  
i:7 | time:3.5  
i:8 | time:4  
i:9 | time:4.5
