No. That is not correct.
It is the same variable being used both inside and outside of the loop. It will have whatever value was last set on it regardless of whether the value was set from within the loop or not.
Based on your sample code, the first reference to shorton within the loop will see a value of zero, due to the initialization made before the loop. Since the last line of your loop then sets shorton to one, all subsequent references (even after the loop completes) will see a one unless you again change the value.
You might want to post a complete sample and ask for help. It doesn't have to be your holy grail system, just reproduce the problem in a simplified script and post that.
