Hi,

I need to make some sort of a loop or an array or something to make this easier so I wont have to type out thousands of lines of code. Could someone help me with this…not quite sure exactly how to do it…need a few tips or guidelines to get me on the way.

I have a few if statements looking like this:

if(counter == 1){  
tField.htmlText = ‘\<font color="#DD0000"\>f\</font\>’  
}  
if(counter == 2){  
tField.htmlText = ‘\<font color="#000000"\>f\</font\>  
\<font color="#DD0000"\>f\</font\>’

```
        }

```

if(counter == 3){  
tField.htmlText = ‘\<font color="#000000"\>f\</font\>  
\<font color="#000000"\>f\</font\>  
\<font color="#DD0000"\>f\</font\>’  
}

and I am going to have to do this up until the counter reaches 540. Whereby the last line in the \<font color= will always be different to the ones before it. The last line will have the color ‘#DD000’ whereas the rest before it will have the color black (#DD0000)

could anyone show me how I could make a fancy loop to do this, instead of me having to write this out 540 times.

Any help would be much appreciated.
