> 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 can see problematic code in three places:
> * JSGeneratingReducer.java: https://github.com/apache/flex-falcon/blob/develop/compiler.js/src/org/apache/flex/compiler/internal/as/codegen/JSGeneratingReducer.java#L3426
> * ForEachEmitter.java: https://github.com/apache/flex-falcon/blob/develop/compiler.jx/src/org/apache/flex/compiler/internal/codegen/js/jx/ForEachEmitter.java
> * JSVF2JSEmitter.java: https://github.com/apache/flex-falcon/blob/develop/compiler.jx/src/org/apache/flex/compiler/internal/codegen/js/vf2js/JSVF2JSEmitter.java#L1708
> Another solution would be to use a for...of loop, Standard in ES6, though that won't work in Internet Explorer: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...of
