Dynamic fps and possible Ticker.reset bug

[armandn]

There are instances where it would be advisable to dynamically set the framerate. Currently this is not possible (setting framerate is ignored as _setupTick returns immediately if a timer has already been set (_timerId)

Theoretically, it should be doable with Ticker.reset() followed by a Ticker.addEventListener() to (re)initialize and then setting Ticker.framerate, however after such a sequence of commands Tweens don't work anymore, at least in my setup.

Looks like a bug with setting framerate.

Regarding Tween, when Ticker is reset, it removes all its event listeners. Tween adds a listener when it initializes, which is getting wiped out. All you need to do to reinitialize it is call:

createjs.Ticker.on("tick", createjs.Tween);

Thank you, re-adding the listener for Tween works. I was thinking it has to be something like it but didn't explore the code enough.

It may be useful to specify this behavior in the docs somewhere.

@armandn Would you mind sharing the exact code you used to get this working?

[armandn]

It was something like
createjs.Ticker.reset(); createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", createjs.Tween); createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", this.stage); createjs.Ticker.framerate = my_framerate;
