FLASH: maximum actions exceeded error?

[Tony Gunn]

Flashers, 


Any help would be appreciated :)


I have the following script in a movie clip named 'counteRun'.  My main movie 'interface' loads this MC into _level1.  I want this script to loop continuously and update the 'popformatted' variable which is displayed in a text box in the 'counterRun' MC.  


My 2 questions are:  


will the following script loop generate the maximum actions exceeded error?  

and

would it put less of a stress on the client if I use Call's as opposed to goto's?


Keyframe 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set Variable: "pop" = 6000000000

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keyframe 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set Variable: "pop" = pop + 3

Set Variable: "commaVal" = ","

Set Variable: "plength" = Length (pop)

Set Variable: "pindex" = plength - 2

Set Variable: "popSub" = Substring(pop, pindex, 3)

Set Variable: "pindex2" = plength - 5

Set Variable: "popSub2" = Substring(pop, pindex2, 3)

Set Variable: "pindex3" = plength - 8

Set Variable: "popSub3" = Substring(pop, pindex3, 3)

If (plength = 10)

      Set Variable: "popSub4" = Substring(pop,1, 1)

Else If (plength = 11 )

      Set Variable: "popSub4" = Substring(pop,1, 2)

Else If (plength = 12)

      Set Variable: "popSub4" = Substring(pop,1, 3)

End If

Set Variable: "popformatted" = popSub4 & commaVal & popSub3 & commaVal &  popSub2 & commaVal & popSub
