okay i have a problem

i hav ball1\_mc moving to the left and rotating

when it touchs box\_mc, i want another ball( ball2\_mc) to have the same rotation as it at the point it touchs the box

if( hitest(box)){  
this.\_rotation=ball1.\_rotation  
}

the problem is, i dont want ball2\_mc to continue to equal ball1\_mc rotation value i just want it to be pointing the direction ball1\_mc was when it hit the box

right now they just spin at the same rate when ball1\_mc touchs the box

How do i take somthings qurdenets into a var at a specific time

what i need is the variable to = the balls rotation, but to stop after taking in the information once, and just once

im sure the answer is very simple, but i got nothin
