As3 - Controlling Animations

[Dafali]

My second thread at newgrounds ~

I'm making a game and my fps is 30. At 30 fps animations is very fast,
so i'd like to control my animations in some way so that they are not
depending on fps. I managed to one time by using a timer, i've tried
doing the same thing but failed =P

I'd appreciate if you'd give some suggestions.
thank you,
Daniel

Day 2 ~

Bump.

I might have solved it myself. The setInterval() method looks
promising enough. If anyone else is wondering about this
i read about it here http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/
flash/setinterval/

happy actionscripting ~

in my case the setInterval method apparently makes everything lag, ALoT.
i used it to inside my "character walking" movieClip make it move to the next frame

function anispeed():void {
	gotoAndPlay(nextFrame)
}
setInterval(anispeed,5000)

I guess the timer method is the way to go =P

It doesn't since i don't want to change my framerate, i only want
to change the speed of one animation

finally found what i was looking for ~

function wait() {
   stop();
   var myInterval = setInterval(function () {
      play();
      clearInterval(myInterval);
   }, 1000); // stop for 1 second
}
wait();
