Hey there,

What i’m trying to do takes a little explaining, so I attached the .SWF file to help. I made the .SWF file using frames, not actionscript.

Here’s the deal:

[LIST=1]  
[_]I’m trying to create a draggable box.  
[_]When you drag this box, its rotation changes as if to simulate resistance.  
[_]The faster you drag it, the more its rotation changes.  
[_]Finally, when you stop dragging it, then it tapers off with a “pendulum effect”.  
[/LIST]

Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Better yet, does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance :2c:  
Matt
