Hello,

I have a question for using the for loop

I have this code running and it’s doing perfectly fine

for (i = 0; i \<= 20; i ++){  
newMovieName = “movie” + i;  
this[newMovieName].gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}

what if I want all 21 movies to play except for lets us movie number 7? Is there a way to ask the for loop to skip 7? Thanks!!!
