I have an array textFromXml, containing text and start position from an
imported XML. These will be loaded when reaching the corresponding time in a
movieclip placeholder (currentframe divided on framerate).

I have the AS2-code attached.

This gives an output looking like this;

[i](...)
i = 0
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 0.1
i = 1
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 1.2
i = 2
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 8.5
i = 3
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 13.5
i = 4
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 18.5
i = 5
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 23.5
i = 6
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 28.5
i = 7
No match; 0.0666666666666667 does not match 33.0
i = 0
MATCH! Text: This is the text from the XML.
i = 1
No match; 0.1 does not match 1.2
i = 2
No match; 0.1 does not match 8.5
i = 3
No match; 0.1 does not match 13.5
i = 4
No match; 0.1 does not match 18.5
i = 5
No match; 0.1 does not match 23.5
i = 6
No match; 0.1 does not match 28.5
i = 7
No match; 0.1 does not match 33.0
i = 0
(...)[/i]

However, one strange problem. The loop freezes at 1.23333333333333 secs, i.e.
at the 37th frame, and just repeats the check at this frame over and over...

[i]i = 0
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 0.1
i = 1
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 1.2
i = 2
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 8.5
i = 3
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 13.5
i = 4
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 18.5
i = 5
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 23.5
i = 6
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 28.5
i = 7
No match; 1.23333333333333 does not match 33.0[/i]

I've tried dividing on a different number, but still the same frame causes the
error. The imported SWF is 900 frames, and keeps running without problems, so
it's only the onEnterFrame-function that gets a hickup. I don't understand why
it would freeze here. Any suggestions?

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < textFromXml.length; i++) {
        trace("i = " + i);
        if( (_root.screen._currentframe/30) ==
textFromXml[i].attributes.start) {
            trace("MATCH! Text: " + textFromXml[i].firstChild.nodeValue);
        } else {
            trace("No match; " + (_root.screen._currentframe/30) + " does not
match " + textFromXml[i].attributes.start);
        }; // end if
    }; // end for
}; // end onEnterFrame
