FLASH: Variable frame rate?

[David Wallach]

I need to, on mouse over, slow a movie clip's animation down to stopped, and

on mouse off,  let it gradually speed up to full speed again.


ouch.



I have this silly feeling that if I apply a routine that has "go to next"

frame function running all the time, being controlled by a 0.00 second delay

as the 'normal speed',  and then on mouse over I start a loop that gets the

current frame delay and adds 0.01 to it on each pass until it reaches 0.1

and then it stops the frame advance, that that will approximate a slow down

and stop of a movie clips animation.


On mouse off, just do the reverse.



any suggestions? am I whacked? will this work? where the hell are my pants?



any help is greatly fawned upon,
