Any idea why this wouldn’t work once a preloader is added to scene before content?  
this.onLoad = function() {  
a = 1;  
//duration = 1;  
//Use a fractional number to  
//cut the duration:  
duration = 0.92;  
maxang = 30;  
speed = 1;  
}  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
setProperty(\_root.content.chandelier, \_rotation, (((Math.sin (speed_a))_(Math.pow (duration, a ))))\*maxang);  
a = a+0.1;  
}
