Kind of a peculiar question:

How might someone detect if an end users computer is slow? I tried a search but got anything and anything but a good answer. Are there built in FPS functions?

Thanks,

I built an FPS movieclip… its actually pretty simple when you think about it:

```auto

onClipEvent(load) {
    starttime = new Date().getSeconds();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
    framecount++;
    thistime = new Date().getSeconds();
    if(starttime != thistime) {
        starttime = thistime;
        rate_txt.text = framecount;
        framecount = 0;
    }
}
//rate_txt is a text field in the movie clip to display the FPS

```

well if you break the animation of the circle filling up to 100 frames use the percent variable to gotoAndStop on the frame (in the circle animation) using the number in the percent variable
