Hello,  
Thank you for looking into this thread…

Well, ok. I created some text, converted into a movie clip and I have three keyframes - 1,5,15  
at 1 the text is as it is, at 5 i flip it horizontally, using the transform tool [q key] and at 15 i flip it horizontally it again, so it’s normal again  
And I’ve put motion tween between both the places. Now when I preview the swf, from 1 to 5 the text animates as it is supposed to clockwise  
but from 5 to 15 it rotates clockwise  
So it covers 1/2 revolution and then traces the same half back to become normal again

What must I do in order to make it swivel in clockwise sense only ?
