Hey there,

Im making a little sequencer program as part of a bigger application. The sequencer playhead MC needs to move at accross the stage at a constant speed regardless of the frame rate of application.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this? My first thought was setInterval, but i have since read that it is not that accurate accross framerate changes either.

Any tips and hints appreciated :te:

Steve
