bHello everyone
I have my project on my website… http://www.sillyplaces.com
Granted many problems to sort out, so i am starting in one area. The rotation of multiple movieclips. Click on the smaller circle, drag up/down and the catagories will rotate round.
Its very slow!!!
The section in my code that does the rotating is in _root.onEnterFrame. Each movieclip is moved up/down an notch at a time within a ‘for’ loop. this loop is within a larger ‘for’ loop depending how many catagories to move up/down. I shall include this section of code for; i hope, better understanding.
My main question is what is the best way to code this? Although i am not experienced with using a motion tween within my code, is this the right method to use?
Is this enough information to help me??
Many Thanks

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

// calculate the angle of the joystick
angle = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-innerCircle._y, _root._xmouse-innerCircle._x)/(Math.PI/180);
_rotation = angle;
if (notches < -13 or notches > 13) {
angle = 0;
notches = 0;
RepeatHowMany--;

for (var i = 9; i>1; i--) {
_root["Option"+i].txt = _root["Option"+(i-1)].txt;
