Usage of as and for

All of a sudden, I was wondering if "as" and "for" can be interchangeable in some context? Have you ever seen or used them for the same meaning? I am sorry about not giving you context and examples, but I cannot think of anything now. Could you help me out please. Thank you so much as usual in advance.
