How do you change FPS in game?

[Newbie101]

Well, how do you? I can't figure out the script. I was thinking of making an input text box where you type it in then enter and it changes it. Also I wanted it to be like the lowest # being 5 and the highest being 25. How do you do that? Thanks in advance.

AS2 or AS3?

Is it even possible in AS2?

Or am I being too literal? I guess you could set everything on timers rather than an actual frame.

And do you want higher frame rates to progress at a faster speed, or do you want to accomodate so the speed stays roughly the same at different frame rates? The latter will be trickier.

I never understood how to do it, the tutorial was way to complicated, but I'll link you, just in case no one can make it simpler.

In its most basic coding though, it's mostly just trying to say "Skip every other frame to make it 2 times as fast, skip every third frame to make it a third faster, etc." and its doing that using a complex formula.
