3D / perspective / carousel help

programming flash
1

Hey all, I’m trying to make a carousel like navigation / panel menu system where it is almost if the user is right “in the way” of the rotation; up close and personal. Each panel will have content on it for the user to select and read. Once selected, it zooms up in a circular, carousel fashion. I’ve put together this code, but I can’t figure out 2 things with it: 1) How would I make more of a perspective where the “selected” panel is scaled up more while the panels in back are further away? Giving it more depth? 2) How do I make the increment value to rotate panel-to-panel? (right now it just shuffles them around to close to each other) Any Help Greatly Appreciated!! Here is the code:
