Is it possible to pause a for loop?

Hi all!

I wonder if it's possible in anyway, without using any timelines, to "pause" a
for loop.for a couple of second if some statement returns true during the loop?
I.e. like this sketch up of a code example:

Thanks for any help

for (var i:int = 0; i<100; i++){
if (i devidable by 3) {
function pauseLoop():void{
// code to pause 2 sec. +
myTextField.text = String(i);
}
}else(){
// continue loop;
}
}

there is no way to pause or slow a for-loop or while-loop. you would have to
code for breaks in your for-loop(s) or use setInterval() or an onEnterFrame
loop to control the loops execution after it starts.

I always value your answers, so thanks for that, Kglad. I'll look into another way of completing my task then
