So basically I am trying to create a menu that runs the circumference of a circle. Instead of doing it all in actionscript I just made the image the radius of the circle. Anways, I was just wondering how I would go about making it ease, using my current code. I tried to follow the mouse easing tutorial here and apply that, but maybe I am too much of a noob, or maybe you just can’t?

Anyways here is what I am using to rotate my current image:  
[INDENT]a = back.\_y-\_ymouse;  
b = back.\_x-\_xmouse;  
angleA = Math.atan2(a, b);  
degrees = angleA/(Math.PI/180);  
setProperty (“back”, \_rotation, degrees);[/INDENT]

Also, I am using a .PNG as the image, and whenever it rotates too far beyond its origin it starts looking really bad. Is there another way of doing that?

Thanks in advance.
