    <p>Okay, I realize that you're not looking for the following 'solution', which won't work, as all frames will still be played:</p> <pre><code>stage.frameRate = new_frame_rate; </code></pre> <p>The only solution is to just skip frames in your enterFrame callback:</p> <pre><code>// Defined elsewhere. var current_frame:Number = 0; var frame_skip_factor:uint; // Skip one frame every 'x' frames. var is_frame_skip_active:Boolean; function on_enter_frame(event:Event):void { if ( is_frame_skip_active &amp;&amp; current_frame++ % frame_skip_factor == 0) { return; } // Game logic/rendering code... } </code></pre> <p>(assuming, per best practices, you've centralized game logic/animation in a single callback), but that may present race conditions/complications when any asynchronous callbacks are run.</p> <p>There is no way to actually skip frames at the runtime level; this is part of the contract of the AVM - no frames are skipped, all code is ran, no matter what. If performance is an issue, you might try asynchronous code execution. There are a couple of ways to do it:</p> <p>1) Offload some computing to Pixel Bender, so that it can be processed asynchronously and/or in parallel (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flashbuilder4_pixelbender.html)</p> <p>2) Spread out the execution of lengthy operations over multiple frames (requires a state save and state restore, a la memento pattern). Details (and a great read) here: <a href="http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/asyncoperations/" rel="nofollow">http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/asyncoperations/</a></p> <p>In any case, I'd (first and foremost) recommend definitively identifying the performance bottleneck with a tool like the Flash Builder Profiler or the Stats class (Mr. Doob). </p> <p>Blitting might be the solution (create a spritesheet with a tile for each frame of the animation) as well. But in any case, I think what you'll need to do is subclass MovieClip and override the play(), stop(), and gotoAndPlay() methods. Your class should look something like this:</p> <pre><code>public class MyMovieClip extends MovieClip { override public function play():void { addFrameSkipListener(); super.play(); } override public function gotoAndPlay(frame:Object, scene:String = null):void { addFrameSkipListener(); super.gotoAndPlay(frame, scene); } // .... } </code></pre> <p>Where the frame skip listener will skip frames according to the current frame rate or frame time, if necessary. Naturally, you'll also need to remove the frameSkipListener when the animation has reached an end.</p> <p>While the MovieClip override solution might do what you want on paper, if you have a lot of objects, this might actually degrade performance as the additional ENTER_FRAME listeners will add some overhead.</p>

    1. CO"There is no way to actually skip frames at the runtime level; this is part of the contract of the AVM - no frames are skipped, all code is ran, no matter what." Very interesting, could you find me a reliable link that says that? I can't seem to find it in here http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/actionscript/articles/avm2overview.pdf

    2. COSure can - the (semi-)famous article (http://ted.onflash.org/2005/07/flash-player-mental-model-elastic.php, and with an AVM2-specific update here: http://ted.onflash.org/2008/04/flash-player-mental-model-elastic.php) comparing Flash to an elastic racetrack says: "In a sense the player is never lossless, it will always do all the work you ask of it and never defer to a later frame cycle." As to its reliability/credibility, note that this article was directly referenced in Adobe's "Optimizing Performance for the Adobe Flash Platform" document, also a great read.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
