Hey guys -

I was wondering if some of you Flash geniuses could help me out with this…

I want to make a menu that is kind of based around a clock face; being circular, with buttons being where the numbers on a clock would be, with a dagger that will rotate around the circle to point to the button when it is hovered over or clicked, like a clock hand pointing to the hour…  
I hope someone can help!

thank you

Umm, not quite sure how to do what you are asking, but this might be a push in the right direction.
