   Hey,

   I'm looking to make my app have a frame rate of 60 for iOS and 30 for android (because Android seems to handle the 60 very badly, which is to be expect in certain cases).

   (Maybe I should be hitting less than 60 for some iOS devices, but I'll deal with that later).

   Can anyone think of a good way for me to automate this process? I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 to write code, but CS6 to compile. I don't want to have to switch the document framerate from 60 to 30 and back again each time I want to test a build on both device types, especially since this will be for a handful of FLAs (i.e. a handful of games), not just one.

   I thought about using compiler constants, but those seem to be in the ActionScript 3 settings - I was hoping to put them inside the config for Air for iOS and Air for Android respectively, so that when I choose one, I'd wrap [SWF(frameRate="60")], or "30", in CONFIG::HIGH_FRAMERATE and CONFIG::LOW_FRAMERATE compiler constants.

   Does anyone have any other ideas?

   Thanks

   This is not a Starling related topic. You can find what you are looking for in the Flash Actionscript documentation:
   http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/reference/html/flash/system/Capabilities.html

   if (Capabilities.version.indexOf("IOS") == 0)
   {
   stage.framerate = 60;
   }

   Thanks.

   I was having trouble setting the stage frameRate property, and my previous suspicion that it was read-only wasn't helping. It's working now.
