How To Move and Rotate?

Everyone on this board has been so helpful! Hopefully, the help can continue one more time.

I have an animation that I have been playing with for a while now. I have some objects on the stage that I would like users to be able to move around as well as rotate their position. I’m able to set it up so the user can rotate the object or drag and drop it, but just not both at the same time.

I thought the best way to accomplish this was to set up two buttons->movies that had their own AS behind them, one for rotating and one for drag and drop, and then just to link them together. Is this possible to do though? I can’t get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this or another way of going about it?

Thanks in advance :blush:

I dont know if this might be too restrictive (or just what you want) but I coded this up a little while ago and it might help

it seems like you got the basics down though… but then you confuse me when you say you want to move and rotate? rotation usually only occurs with a basis for rotation, ie. a point to base the rotation off of, which is normally, the position of the clip. If you try to move the position of the clip, then rotation just might not happen, not unless you serve up some kind of follow rotation… something like (hmm I think I have an example somewhere…)

the first chain example (press plus a couple of times to get to it) - that shows a kind of move and rotate at the same time deal, you knwo if you consider just the first link
