Controlling the frame rate of a movieclip

1

I know how to change the frame rate of the whole movie but is there a way to change the frame rate of one movieclip? Thanks for your time.

The only problem is that code works great if you just play the movieclp but if you use a button to play a different frame (not the first frame, then it doesnt work. Suggestions?

Try:

MovieClip.prototype.setFPS = function(rate, begin, end) {
	this.gotoAndStop(begin);
	this.begin = this._currentframe;
	this.end = end ? end : this._totalframes;
	this.controlFPS = function() {
		if (this.begin != this.end) {
			this.gotoAndStop(this.begin++);
updateAfterEvent();
		} else {
			delete this.control;
			delete this.begin;
			delete this.end;
			clearInterval(this.my_interval);
		}
	};
	this.my_interval = setInterval(this, "controlFPS", 1000/rate);
};
myMovieClip.setFPS(25, 10, 30);
//fps rate,initial frame, final frame
