Hi, ive used the Circular Movement Tutorial  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/circular.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../developer/mx/circular.htm)

I want to be able to mouse over the button while its moving and i want it to stop were it is, basically like pauseing the button in its tracks.  
Below is the code provided:

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
    var radius = 10 + Math.random() * 50;
    var speed = 5 + Math.random() * 20;
    
    var xcenter = this._x;
    
    var ycenter = this._y;
    
    var degree = 0;
    var radian;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    degree += speed;
    radian = (degree/180)*Math.PI;
    this._x = xcenter+Math.cos(radian)*radius;
    this._y = ycenter-Math.sin(radian)*radius;
}

```

if there is any code i can add to this to get the pauseing effect could someone help.

many thanks in advance
