get timer

[pr]

not so custom to 'get timer'-
so
first-where can i get more info on the subject.

second -is there a way i can play a movie clip
faster than i have designed it or is it possible to
give an action to run the clip not at the frame rate
of the movie but say twice faster

hope i make myself clear
thanks in advance

Do a search here for getTimer. I think there's a tutorial on a clock...

To make the mc run faster:

Make a control mc

Frame 1
Stop

Frame 2
Begin Tell Target("/mcinstancename")
Go to and Play (_currentframe)+2
End Tell Target

Frame 3
Go to and Play (2)

Then have a button make the control mc play. If you want to work it without a button and start automatically leave out the first frame of the control mc.

i can learn practicly from
