Slowing down a movie

[JoOWiTHaU]

Is there a way in AS to double the number of frames instead of manually going back into the movie and adding more frames or slowing down the frame rate? I need to slow this movie down, but I don't want to sacrifice quality. Any ideas?

Thanks.

buh-buh-bump!

like that??

well, not really. all i need to do is slow down my movie, but i want the quality of 24 fps, and i DONT want to go back into flash and manually add in extra frames (because the movie is 600 frames), although i guess i have to if there isnt a way in actionscript to do this.

thanks!

You're not going to have "24 FPS quality" if 1/2 of your frames look just like the last one no matter what way you do it.

You could try having each frame wait a few milliseconds before it advances.

my swf was all in as.... including the slider. you would just place that on a seperate want a fla? to see the speed changingness?

ahh ok, so how would i do that?

Maybe something like



stop();
slowRate = 2;
i=0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
i++
if (i==slowRate) {
nextFrame();
i=0;
}
}


Then just play around with the slow rate. There is probably much better way though hehehehe.

this code makes the movie play the _currentframe + the _x postion of the slider.

so the main code you are looking for is

_root.gotoAndPlay(_currentframe + HOWEVER MANY YOU WANT TO SKIP);

place on a new layer it will apply to the whole movie..
