Hi… Trying to get a script for a Specific fps for a loaded movie,i.e. My main movie is 60 fps and my loaded movie is 12 fps and when I play, the loaded movie plays in 60 fps…Is there a way to play the loaded movie in a specific speed (like 12fps rather than 60 fps)… ---

Hi, The loaded movie will always play at the frame rate of the main swf. Good luck ---

Hi … I gues the simplest way to solve this is to devide slow movie to frames and make every frame 5 frame long… beside… mane movie 60 fps… I think its too much… 24… 30 is more then sufition. GL. ---

There is a way. If your main movie runs at 60 fps, you can make an externally loaded swf run at another rate, by loading a silent clip of streamed sound. This results in the movie playing at the rate of the streamed sound (in the new movie). It can be done but is a little fiddly. It depends how bad you need the external movie running at a different speed. Otherwise KarenInPA is right, child movies run at the same fps as the main movie. ---

Hi, Child movies inherit the fps of the parent movie, but in FlasMX (r u using MX?) u can use the ‘setInterval’ command to run several movies at the same time at different fps: function gotoNext(){ childMovie.nextFrame(); } setInterval(gotoNext, 1000/12); //divide it by the number of fps, 12 in this example Cheers SHO Ps.: have a look at this guy: [http://home.planet.nl/~leeu6431/example.html](http://home.planet.nl/~leeu6431/example.html) bye ---

I didn’t know that was poss. in MX. It’s easier than the method I learnt… ---

Hi, Yeah! the ‘setInterval’ command of Flash MX is VERY powerful, u can make movies based on time rather than frames (like ‘real’-ha!- games). Cheers SHO ---

I use flash for games, not really for webdesign - I haven’t looked into that possibility (using set.Interval to change the fps). Although for ‘real’ time scenarios it would be handly (as opposed to using [COLOR=blue]getTimer()[/COLOR]). But **most** games wouldn’t require that much ‘reality’ and if they did, it wouldn’t be feasable to make it in Flash. ---

HI, Yes! at last the end of getTimer() once and having to compare with another getTimer() (do I make sense?) BUT… be careful, ‘setInterval’ generates an infinite loop that u have to remember to kill (or face a big drop in performance). I agree, don’t think the browser’s plugin could handle a full time based game but a projector may (don’t know, haven’t worked on a CD for a long time) Cya SHO ---

why dont you just slow your things down? and i dont see why you need 60fps…the human eye cant even see that…its pointless just uses up more cpu ---

WOW, I didn’t know you could do that in MX! 😮 … well I am actually a sucker, I am still using 5. And talking about FPS, I usually use 30, but I do sometimes use 60 for signatures… I think that there is a very clear difference between 30 and 60… but it is not worth it to waste all the CPU if you make a website. ---
