Or use an anonymous function with one of the array operation methods, like every (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Array.html#every( ))
In this case your anonymous function would be something that increments a value in its parent scope by the value of the current element it is processing.
