Hi ! i have just stated using flash .mx 2004 .  
i am trying to develop this application for my own based on a free tutorial at this web site: [http://www.cbtcafe.com/flash/3dtext/3dtext.html](http://www.cbtcafe.com/flash/3dtext/3dtext.html)

I can never get the text alligned to rotate at the fixed angle… nor does the pen tool mask … the text does rotate clcokwise but at all weird angles … sometimes 90, somtimes all the way around…  
u can see what happens at [http://bruce.engr.ucf.edu/~mgu/car/circle\_not.swf](http://bruce.engr.ucf.edu/~mgu/car/circle_not.swf)

Can anyone help me out with this …
