For loops and "this.n" help

1

Hey everybody.

I’m doing some XML parsing with flash and after reading some articles on the net it seems like the proper for loop syntax for going through a &name=value string is

[AS]

for(i = 0; i < this.n; i++){
code…
}

[/AS]

This works fine and everything, but i’m just wondering where ‘this.n’ comes from? I can’t seem to find it in the actionscript dictionary and i’m just wondering the origin of that statement and what alternatives there are. I like to understand everything I put in my code. Please humor me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks all,
