Endless loop. Flash Crashed...

[4urentertainment]

So I'm trying to hitTest my character with a wall. I use while and try this:

onClipEvent(EnterFrame) {
while (_root.walls.hitTest(_x , _y , true)) {trace("it works!");}
}

Now the second I hit the walls, flash crashes...

What am I doing wrong here?

Nothing.

Oh. Apart from the fact you're forgetting to ensure that the walls never hit test the object during the loop (normally people do something intelligent like move the damn thing out of the way of the walls in these while loops, rather than do nothing). Since you appear to have absolutely no method of ensuring that once the loop starts it never breaks, it fires until your processor melts.

Tell the movieclip to get out of the walls during the while loop.

Uhm, flash shouldn't crash, just need 15 sec to timeout the script.

on(enterFrame){
getURL("http://www.newgrounds.com");
}

if ya like loops try that for 15 seconds see what happens :)
