hey... I have an animation that is at 100 fps... I want to bring in my swift 3d animation that is at 50fps... I can't make another scene and just run them together since when you change the fps in MX, it changes the document's fps. Anyone know how i can just make a new stage (not scene) and link them together with actionscript? (I hope this makes sense)

You would have to have a completely seperate swf (read: not loaded into the other swf at all).

Sounds like your best solution would be to write a simple script to advance the 50fps movie by one frame for every 2 frames played on the 100fps movie:

bMoveAhead = !bMoveAhead;
if (bMoveAhead) { mySwiftAnimation.nextFrame(); }

Hope it helps.

cool... now where would i put that code?

[gskinner]

You would want to have that code triggered by an enterFrame event. So for instance, you could place this on the first frame of the root that your swift3d movieclip shows up on.

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
bMoveAhead = !bMoveAhead;
if (bMoveAhead) { mySwiftAnimation.nextFrame(); }
}

just be sure to remove it when you're done with it:

delete(this.onEnterFrame);
