I am tweening text slowly like a marquee style, and I cant seem to get it smooth (it’s stuttering and jerky). I am embedding the font, converting it to a bitmap, turning smoothing on, then using GTween for tweening it.

If I use a very high frame rate I can see it gets smoother (I am using 24fps) but it should already be better than it is at 24. However, I would like to apply a higher framerate to this movieclip, how do I do that with AS3?

I found this method, but updateAfterEvent() is outdated (only for onMouseMove, etc…) :

[INDENT]function timelineFaster() {  
nextFrame();  
updateAfterEvent();  
}  
var tweenFaster:Number = setInterval(timelineFaster, 1);

[/INDENT]In general I would like to learn more dynamic control of individual movieclips, this could be a powerful weapon to have 🙂 Whats the best technique? (prefer in scripting…)
