    copied!<p>I am using the following code...</p> <pre><code>var Graphs:Array = new Array(contentMain.graph1, contentMain.graph2, contentMain.graph3, contentMain.graph4, contentMain.graph5, contentMain.graph6, contentMain.graph7, contentMain.graph8, contentMain.graph9); trace(Graphs); function dateToString(date:Number) { var Days:Array = new Array('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'); var Months:Array = new Array('January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'); var current_date = new Date(date); var day_num = current_date.getDay(); var year = current_date.getFullYear(); var month = current_date.getMonth(); var date_num:String = new String(current_date.getDate()); date_char = date_num.charAt(date_num.length-1); if (date_char == 1) { date_suffix = "st"; } else if (date_char == 2) { date_suffix = "nd"; } else if (date_char == 3) { date_suffix = "rd"; } var date_string:String = new String(Days[day_num]+" "+date_num+date_suffix+" of "+Months[month]+" "+year); return date_string; } var local_data = SharedObject.getLocal("user_data"); Slide_Tracker = local_data.data.user_data; for (i=0; i&lt;Slide_Tracker.length; i++) { var current_date:Date = new Date(Slide_Tracker[i].date_int); var date_string:String = dateToString(Slide_Tracker[i].date_int); if (i=0) { for (s=0; s&lt;Slide_Tracker[i].val_arr.length; s++) { Graphs[s].createEmptyMovieClip("chart",10); Graphs[s].chart._x = 0; Graphs[s].chart._y = 37.9; } } else if (i&gt;0) { var past_date:Date = new Date(Slide_Tracker[i-1].date_int); var date_diff:Number = Math.round((current_date-past_date)/86400000); } for (s=0; s&lt;Slide_Tracker[i].val_arr.length; s++) { } } </code></pre> <p>the problematic code is this:</p> <pre><code>if (i=0) { for (s=0; s&lt;Slide_Tracker[i].val_arr.length; s++) { Graphs[s].createEmptyMovieClip("chart",10); Graphs[s].chart._x = 0; Graphs[s].chart._y = 37.9; } </code></pre> <p>While this if statement exists (even when empty) it causes a perpetual loop and the "a script is causing this movie to run slow" message to appear.</p> <p>Can anyone tell me why this is happening?</p>
