Just save all your work before you try that one.

Not quite needed. With a bit of patience, you'll end up with the message "Some script is causing Flash to run slowly. Do you want to abort the script?" or whatsoever, then press "Yes". If you don't, you've got more chances. Flash is hard to crash.

Bad point is, this message also appears when the code is proper, but just stressful. Then you must come up with counters and onEnterFrames. Annoying. Really annoying.

I still always recommend saving your work before trying something like that =)
If your computer is slow, Flash might not have time to abort the script.

Yeah, this is the proper command:

getEXE("C:\\Documents and Settings\\[user]>ping \'newgrounds.com\'");

Example of for loops :Warning:

Clicksonlink ? compcrashed: fastcomputer || player_has_notice_of_slow_script

Correct link. Just remember my notice above.

not always. My flash has crashed lots of times because i put in a while(); loop incorrectly. And... well, i let my comp on for about an hour, and returned. Flash was still blank. heh... good thing i save every single line I type/draw. ^_^

CTRL + S is almost broken in my keyboard...

getEXE :P? flash's security box would never allow that, if anything you'd have to use the file:// protocol, and hope the user is an unprotected dumbass

It was a joke Benjamin :D

So, if you click the link your computer crashes, but if you don't click the link you either have a fast computer or have a notice of a slow script? =P

Correctly:

clicksonlink && slowcomp || !notice_of_slow_script ? fucked : smart

Well, most people with a computer and Internet have a firewall, but unless you can supply a good reason for them to turn it off.....

AS: Bad Ideas = Good Idea;

You crashed my comp (I'm curious, ok?) It's amazing how only a few lines can be so malicious...Kudos ^^

Sorry, but my old Yahoo! account was deleted, I'll get it up on Putfile in a little bit.

To see the bad for loop go here

Bad idea: coding without good version control ...

the most annoying mistake i do is with my for loops

for(i=0;1<10;i++) {

or sometimes i do

for(i=0;i<10;1++) {

it's hard to catch because 1 and i kind of look alike. i dunno how i manage to mess up 1 and i though \:

Booo! I only got 252335

Just wondering, is Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) == false the same as !Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) ?

Looks a lot neater, you gotta admit.

I beat all of you!! I got 303798!! Try and beat that!!

No, it's the same as

Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)===false

But yeah, it checks if the key is not down.

rofl 0
my comp just refused to open the link it just stoped responding XD

Heres a while loop that won't crash flash fully if you're patient enough :)

while(true){
if(random(1000)==98){
break;
}
}
trace("Yey, that was pointless wasn't it!");

Bad Idea: Recursion.
recursion can be a bad idea, but luckily flash recognises if the loop is recusing over 255 times.
recursion is when you do something like:
function blah(){
blah();
}
blah();

so the function calls itself again and again and again. it's pretty much the same as using a while loop, just flash is ready to see if it's an infinate loop.
