[orange gold]

is there any way that i can have it so i click a button and the frames per seconds changes to 80 or sumthing, thanks i need it immeaditly so please help

I'm not aware that you can change the framerate while the program is running. If you really need to code running at variables speeds, look into using setInterval().

in increasing your fps .. are you trying to make the animation run faster ?? or make code execute faster?

in that prototype i dont think it changes the refresh speed though.. what do you think atomic??

but since the prototype is focused around setInterval i think if you stick the updateAfterEvent() in there .. that would cause it to refresh the screen on every interval... basically making it be its own FPS .. ?? am i correct.. i dont see that being used in that code though..

A simple and old way of doing it, is simply to load a "stream" silent sound .swf at the desired framerate... The player will then be forced to try and maintain that framerate... Although 80fps is a ridiculously high framerate, that certainely won't be maintained if this is online...

Cool find atomic, never seen that one. I am gonna try it.

Here is another one I found that seems really nice, I setup some sample code for demonstration:
http://weblog.motion-graphics.org/ar...c_frame_r.html

// Dynamic FrameRate Prototype
// [url]http://weblog.motion-graphics.org/archives/2006/01/dynamic_frame_r.html[/url]
//
function setFrameRate(frameRate:Number):Void {
    var timelineFaster:Function = function () {
        me.nextFrame();
        updateAfterEvent();
    };
    var me:MovieClip = this;
    clearInterval(me.tweenFaster);
    me.tweenFaster = setInterval(timelineFaster, frameRate);
}
MovieClip.prototype.setFrameRate = setFrameRate;
MovieClip.prototype.tweenFaster = new Number();
// 
// Three movieclips on stage with instance names of
// ball1_mc, ball2_mc, ball3_mc, I just used the same
// movieclip with a 40 frame motion tween and this on
// the last frame in a code layer -- this.gotoAndPlay(1);
// for testng purposes.
//
ball1_mc.setFrameRate(1); // ball1 Fast
ball2_mc.setFrameRate(200); // ball2 Slow
// ball3_mc is using your standard timeline framerate
//
// 4 movieclips used as buttons for slowing down
// and speeding up.
//
b1slow_mc.onRelease = function (){ // ball1_mc Slow
    ball1_mc.setFrameRate(100);
}
b1fast_mc.onRelease = function (){ // ball1_mc Fast
    ball1_mc.setFrameRate(1);
}
b2slow_mc.onRelease = function (){ // ball2_mc Slow
    ball2_mc.setFrameRate(200);
}
b2fast_mc.onRelease = function (){ // ball2_mc Fast
    ball2_mc.setFrameRate(10);
}

/*
You can also use it on a MovieClips timline
to alter the speed during the duration of your
animations etc...

Here is a sample of doing just that, create a 120
frame animation of something and make a code layer
with tthe following 4 scripts and then test the movie.

Frame 1 AS Layer Code
this.setFrameRate(1); // crazy fast

Frame 40 AS Layer Code
this.setFrameRate(40); // slower

Frame 80 AS Layer Code
this.setFrameRate(200); // very slowwwwwwwwwer

Frame 120 AS Layer Code
stop(); // the end - so stop
// or
// this.gotoAndPlay(1); // to loop the animation again

i have alinerider uncoded andi while im plasying the video i want a button soi can press it and he will go faster
