Hi,

I’m trying to create a button that when pressed, will increase the frame rate speed, and when clicked again, will slow it back down. Does anybody know if this is possible and how it can be accomplished?

It is possible and it is accomplished with the setInterval function. There is a tutorial about this on THIS VERY SITE.
