Timed Loop

1

I am trying to construct a timed loop… so far without success.

What I need is a loop where iteration 0 + i + 1 starts a few seconds after iteration 0 + i. I tried putting a timer inside the loop but the loop seems to simple skip the timer instead of executing it sequentially before starting the next iteration. Here is the code snippet:


var iTimer : Timer;
                            
for( var i:int = 0; i < 2; i++ )
{
    trace( i + " i iterations" );
                
    iTimer = new Timer( 1000 );
    iTimer.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER, iLoop );
    iTimer.start( );
            
    function jLoop( evt:TimerEvent ):void
    {
        trace( i + " i iterations" );

        iTimer.removeEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER, jLoop );
        iTimer.reset( );
    }                  
}

The loop does not seem to wait for jLoop() to be executed. It speeds ahead onto the next iteration, instantiating a new timer and thus screwing up the timing of the iterations. I have tried different things like putting break and continue statements in there but to no avail. Anyone got an idea?
