A tricky rotation

programming flash
1

Okay, i’m a bit scre up because I have to rotate a gear (the image of…) but usualy it’s easy because I use rotation in a motion tween.

But in that project, there is two triangle button, one pointing to the left and one to the right. So There is also button on that gear, those buttons must rotate with the gear. But for them I will create a movie clip and copy the code of the gear.

So the triangles must rotate the gear of 30 degree. Here’s the tricky part. I don’t want a instant rotation. It would be great if I can control the speed of the rotation. Usually I used the timeline but in that case if the user want to change direction. It would be great if I can goto next key frame instead of next frame…

So I need your help…

Thx

What you’d want to do now is perhaps lower the value of “30” to something smaller? That way it wouldnt look as “jumpy”. Another suggestion would be that when the arrow buttons are released, instead of just stopping the gear, perhaps slowly drag it to a stop by gradually decreading the speed so it doesnt look like it “jumps” to a stop.
