Ive this problem with rotating an object.  
What I want to do is rotate an object to  
108 degrees than rotate it back to 72 degrees.

So what I did was:  
[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {

// set speed  
rotationSpeed = 2;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
// start the motion  
\_rotation += rotationSpeed;

// rotate back when gone to far.  
if (\_rotationSpeed \>= 108) {  
rotationSpeed \*= -1;

// stop at 72 degrees  
if (\_rotation == 72) {  
\_rotationSpeed = 0;  
}  
}  
}  
[/AS]  
Atleast thats what I thought would work. but the stupid thingie rotates to 108 degrees, then rotates back the other way BUT DOESNT STOP AT 72 DGREES!!!

what am I doing wrong?
