Changing framerate with actionscript

Is there a way to change the framerate a movie runs at with actionscript? For example, I could have three buttons, slow, medium fast, which would change the framerate to 6, 12, or 24.

Thanks

No, frame rate is set with the movie when you create the swf. There is no property to control it with.

You could fake it. Like if you had some animation in a movie clip, you could use:

_root.mcName.gotoAndPlay(_currentframe + 2);

But it will appear jerky cause it's skipping frames.
