I have a few keyframes and need to know how I could alter how fast they play based on a variable so a higher number yields a slower play. Haven’t been able to get it quite right myself. ---

You can try something with setInterval to create a mock FPS rate. This will be a lower number for a slower speed, but still works. Check my attachment, I have a commented .fla file. ---

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using Flash 5. setInterval isn’t in there is it? ---

Ohhhh, nope, setInterval isnt a Flash 5 option. I don’t believe you can do this in Flash 5. I have no clue though.
