What am I doing wrong with this loop?

[snuffsTheThundarKat]

This is driving me crazy! I'm trying to create 100 triangles, as a little challenge for myself, in random positions.

import flash.display.MovieClip;

addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, 100Tri)

function 100Tri() {

for(var i:int=0;, i>100;,i++;){

          var positonX:int = Math.random()*550;

          var positonY:int = Math.random()*400;

          var triangle:MovieClip = new Triangles();

          triangle.x=positionX;

          triangle.y=positionY;

          addChild(triangle)

}

But, it keeps coming up as

Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 2

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before Tri.

Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 3

1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before 100.

There is a class named 'Triangles', which is linked to a movieclip of a triangle. It contains nothing but what is in every class.

Help? I'm certain its just a little thing I'm missing, but its annoying me. >.<

Hi,

There are some silly mistakes in your code. use the below :

import flash.display.MovieClip;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, triangles)

function triangles(e:MouseEvent)

{

          trace("click handler")

          for(var i:int=0; i>100;i++)

          {

                                var positonX:int = Math.random()*550;

                                var positonY:int = Math.random()*400;

                                var triangle:MovieClip = new tri();

                                triangle.x = positonX;

                                triangle.y = positonY;

                                addChild(triangle)

          }

}

You for loop definition line of code ( for(var i:int=0;, i>100;,i++;){  )should not have any commas in it.

Functions cannot be named starting with numeric characters.
