Change the speed of the animation

When you tested the animation, you might have noticed that the tire bounces rather slowly. You
can change the speed of an animation by changing the number of frames that play per second,
and by setting positive and negative easing values, which determine the rate of acceleration
and deceleration.
Change the frames per second speed
The frame rate, measured in frames per second (fps) is the speed at which the animation plays.
By default, Flash animations play at a rate of 12 fps, which is ideal for web animation. Sometimes,
however, it's desirable to change the fps rate. You'll now change the frame rate to 36 frames per
second, which will make the tire appear to bounce more rapidly.
Click on the Stage, away from any objects.
1.
In the Property inspector, type 36 in the Frame Rate text box.
2.
The frame rate applies to the entire Flash document, not just to an animation within
the document.
