Im tryig to recreate the same rotation effect in Front Row using Flash. I thik I have most of it figured out, but I keep running into problems.:hangover:

My Code:  
[AS]  
var home:MovieClip = this;  
var Dir:String;  
var Slots:Array = [];  
var characters:Array = [[“guy1”], [“guy2”], [“guy3”], [“guy4”]];  
var numOfChars:Number = characters.length;  
var Destination:Number;  
var radiusX:Number = 300;  
var radiusY:Number = 75;  
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;  
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;  
var perspective:Number = 130;  
var easing:Number = 0.05;  
var menuKeyTimer:Number;  
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
this.onLoad = function() {  
menuKeyTimer = 0;  
Destination = 1;  
numOfChars = characters.length;  
for (var i = 0; i\<numOfChars+1; i++) {  
var t = home.attachMovie(characters\*, characters\*, i+1);  
Slots.push(i\*((Math.PI_2)/numOfChars));  
t.angle = i_((Math.PI\*2)/numOfChars);  
t.charID = i+1;  
t.onEnterFrame = mover;  
}  
};  
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
myListener = new Object();  
myListener.onKeyUp = function() {  
menuKeyTimer = 0;  
};  
Key.addListener(myListener);  
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
function mover() {  
/\*if (this.angle\>360) {  
this.angle = Slots[0];  
} else if (this.angle\<0) {  
this.angle = Slots[numOfChars];  
}  
\*/  
this.\_x = Math.cos(this.angle)\*radiusX+centerX;  
this.\_y = Math.sin(this.angle)_radiusY+centerY;  
var s = (this.\_y-perspective)/(centerY+radiusY-perspective);  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale=s_100;  
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this.\_xscale)+100);  
this.\_alpha = (Math.round(this.\_xscale)-45);  
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {  
menuKeyTimer++;  
if (menuKeyTimer\<2) {  
if (Destination\<=numOfChars && Destination\>=1) {  
Destination–;  
} else if (Destination\<=0) {  
Destination = 4;  
}  
Dir = “Left”;  
}  
//trace(Destination);  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
menuKeyTimer++;  
if (menuKeyTimer\<2) {  
if (Destination\<numOfChars) {  
Destination++;  
} else {  
Destination = 0;  
}  
Dir = “Right”;  
}  
//trace(Destination);  
}  
if (this.angle == Slots[Destination+this.charID]) {  
//Do Nothing  
} else {  
if (Dir == “Left”) {  
this.angle -= centerX+Slots[Destination-this.charID]\*easing;  
if (this.angle\>360) {  
this.angle = 0;  
} else if (this.angle\<0) {  
this.angle = 360;  
}  
} else if (Dir == “Right”) {  
this.angle += centerX+Slots[Destination-this.charID]\*easing;  
if (this.angle\>360) {  
this.angle = 0;  
} else if (this.angle\<0) {  
this.angle = 360;  
}  
} else {  
Dir = “none”;  
}  
}  
}  
[/AS]

Thanx in advance
