====== How to find out the current Framerate ======

//Note: Beginning with version 1.1, Starling contains a "showStats" property. Enable it on your Starling instance, and the framerate will be displayed directly on the screen.//

To find out the actual frame rate, you can use the following code snippet. Add it e.g. to the constructor of your game class.

<code as3>
var frameCount:int = 0;
var totalTime:Number = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(event:EnterFrameEvent):void
{
    totalTime += event.passedTime;
    if (++frameCount % 60 == 0)
    {
        trace("fps: " + frameCount / totalTime);
        frameCount = totalTime = 0;
    }
});
</code>

This will display the actual frames per second to the console.
