Hi people,

I was wondering if it possible to set the frame rate of an externally loaded movie to a different frame rate than the movie it is embedded within.

I basically have a flash site that loads flash movies using loadMovie command, however, the frame is lost within these movies and simply adopts the main site frame rate.

Help… please… anyone…

Can’t do that. A movie loaded into a parent movie automatically inherits the framerate of the parent movie. You can however fake the framerate using setInterval. Here’s a script that does that: [http://downloads.junioronline.us/details.php?section=3&item=1](http://downloads.junioronline.us/details.php?section=3&item=1)
