Ok, here is my problem. I’m trying to make and ipod like user interface where the user can use his/her mouse to adjust volume/highlighted menu option. My solution for the problem was to use 4 buttons that i needed anyway on the scroll/click wheel so that on roll over, based on the cursors position(right of button=down, left of button=up) i could add plus one to the volume or whatever. this isnt always very acurate and the AS is a little too bloated. My question is… Is there a way to use a circle line and somehow detect whether or not the mouse is going clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Thanks for the help or any comments.
