Hey all.

Been working on some clients sites and come across a little bump in my creative road, i have basically pulled off a animation, of title text rotating when a menu button is selected.

But to get this effects right , many frames had to be used and i feel that i dont have much control with this method and if i was too add buttons would be tedious to create another 20 or so frames, so i was curious on how would i achieve this animation in actionscript. (see attached fla for reference)

My guess would be along the lines, of a function that controls the x and y cooridinates , probably using a pie or diameter equation to control movement and updated dynamic text. “in theory” but practical how?

thanks for any assistance. 🙂
