Loop using external variables

[AngryGamerProductions]

I need to make a loop, which keeps a spawned item within the boundaries of the screen. It needs to be like this:

if (square_x + (width/2) > 480)
            {
                square_x = square_x - 5
            }

(square_x is a variable defined before the conditional) but it needs to be a loop, so that it keeps repeating that effect until it satisfies the statement: "square_x < 480"

If you need it to loop, then you might just try using a while loop...

while(square_x >= 480){

   if (square_x + (width/2) > 480){
      square_x = square_x - 5
   }
}

Why do you need a loop? Why not to just position object within boundaries?

Are you talking about initial positioning or keeping object within boundaries while animating it?
