change the interval of an NSTimer?

[eco_bach]

Hi
Can anyone tell me if its possible to change the interval of an NSTimer while its firing?

Seems like this should be possible but haven't figured out how...

(NSTimer *)timerWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)seconds target:(id)target selector:(SEL)aSelector userInfo:(id)userInfo repeats:(BOOL)repeats

Use that method. With the seconds parameter equalling to your interval. For example if seconds = 1; it will fire every one second, 2 every two seconds, etc.

Yes, but you're saying I need to create a NEW NSTimer every time I want to change the interval...which is what I want to avoid. Basically I'm trying to create a 'deceleration' effect.

No, a repeating timer runs on a fixed interval. If you want a changing interval, use a one-shot timer (repeats = no) each time it fires, create a new one with a different interval.
