I’m working on a flash animation that I have set to 30fps, however I want to import an older SWF that I made a long time and it is at 15fps. Of course when it imports, it plays twice as fast as it originally should. Is there an easy way to correct this? I really need the main timeline to stay at 30fps, and I really don’t want to go into the imported SWF and make each frame last 2 frames by hand. It’s over 500 frames long :sleep:

Please tell me there’s an easy solution!

[Edit: if this makes anything clearer, I do not want the imported SWF to magically be smoother. I simply want it to play at its usual 15 frames per second, while the rest of the stage goes at 30fps]
