can you change the frame rate on one scene/movie clip in a flash movie

[icpooreman]

This seems like something that would be simple but I can't seem to figure out how. Is there anyway to have different frame rates in different scenes of your flash movie or change the fps for a movieclip inside of your scene without effecting the entire scene.

no but you can use the setInterval() function to bypass the frame rate

Ya I figured that it wasn't possible. How exactly would I use setInterval wouldn't that make things appear extremely choppy.

I don't know if you could give me an example. Say I have a movieclip in my scene and I want it to appear slower/faster at certain times how would I use setInterval to gain that effect?

OK here is a link to the function at macromedia,

[livedocs.macromedia.com...]

basically you could use it something like

whateverclip_mc.onEnterframe=function() {
setInteval(parameters etc);
}

or call it from within an onPress button event.

Thanks ya I've actually started playing with it a bit and got basically what I was looking for accomplished.
