Hi. How do I set a symbol speed when playing or pausing using javascript? I’ve provided my file below for your reference.

Hi,

You can get symbol document then use `setSpeed` function of document. For example,

```auto
var symbolDoc = doc.getElement('clock').getSymbolDoc();
symbolDoc.setSpeed(0.02);

```
