Howdy…

Cheesey and easy way of rotating a circle vertically…

Draw a circle and make it a movieclip…  
Name its instance on the stage to ‘Coin’…  
Add this script and run it…

```auto
_level0.speed = 10;
_level0.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
	if (_level0.Coin._xscale <= 100)
	{
		_level0.Coin._xscale -= _level0.speed;
	}
	if (_level0.Coin._xscale < -100)
	{
		_level0.Coin._xscale = 100 - _level0.speed;
	}
}

```
