Hey all,

I’m using this script to have a lottery jackpot countup.

```auto

counter = numberCounter.text = 0;
updateCounter = function () {
        counter++;
        numberCounter.text = counter;
}
setInterval(updateCounter,1);

```

It’s going to go up to about 65,000,000 (possibly 120,000,000 max) before the movie will end. I need it to count up in about 10 seconds. Adjusting the frame rate, I can’t go past 24fps since I’m animating other things at the same time. Is there a way to increase faster? or at least have it appear as though it’s counting faster?

Thanks for any help!
