Need some help with some actionscript-fu…
I’m trying to design a game that uses a wheel that works just like the one in Wheel of Fortune that only uses actionscript for movement.
I can get the value of which tile the movieclip stops at but the problem is the movement.
What I would like to happen is this:
- Once the user hits “Spin” the wheel accelerates up to a speed
- Completely Spins around for a set amount (let’s say 4 times)
- Decelerates to a random spot on the wheel
I understand the concepts of accelerating/decelerating a movie clip if it were moving linearly but because flash deals with rotation by using the values -180 to 180 I get a wheel that spins backwards on me if the value is negative.
I guess I could always cop out and just tween it out but that’s not as fun.
