"Every" Timer -- Increase the Speed

[Taft]

Is there a way to increase the "Every X" speed of the timer?

I'm using some "typewriter text" code that creates the effect of spitting out text one character at a time. It's programmed like this: "Every 3 seconds," some text is printed.

Problem is, I'd like to increase the speed of the timer. (Maybe tricking the program into interpreting "Every 3 seconds" as being "Every 2 second"?) I have hundreds of lines of this and I'd like to avoid adjusting each and every one. (I especially would like to avoid creating an extra counter and having the value tied that -- not until MMF supports a find-and-replace function.)

I've tried "Every X seconds, add 1 second to timer" -- but this doesn't seem to do anything.

Any ideas? Is there an extension that manipulates how the timer works (one that's compatible with Flash)?

Thanks for your help!

You can create your own custom timer using one object, or even just one global value.

Should go something like this:

Always
Add 1 to Value A

Then instead of your every X events

Value A mod(time)+1 = time

time: if your framerate is 60, a value of 60 would trigger every second.
