…I’d like to do this with actionscript if possible and only for approx. 40 frames or so of the entire movie. Essentially I want to slow down my swf in the middle of playing, but then resume it’s standard FPS

Is there a solution using AS2 I can throw on the timeline to give my movie the desired lag I’m after?

Thx as always 🙂
