Andy Dufilie updated FLEX-34984:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
When you write a for-each loop, the iterable gets re-evaluated on every 
iteration.

Example code:
{code}
for each (var item:Object in Test.getItems()) {
        Test.doSomething(item);
}
{code}
Cross-compiled:
{code}
  for (var foreachiter0 in Test.getItems()) 
  {
  var item = Test.getItems()[foreachiter0];
  {
    Test.doSomething(item);
  }}
{code}

It should not call Test.getItems() on every loop iteration. Instead, it should 
generate a new local variable prior to entering the loop to store the result.

I believe the offending code is reduce_forLoop() in JSGeneratingReducer.java:

https://github.com/apache/flex-falcon/blob/808fd1601a0228883b06d061d0f6bd101888284e/compiler.js/src/org/apache/flex/compiler/internal/as/codegen/JSGeneratingReducer.java#L3426
