hi ,  
I am new to Flash and have a little [COLOR=black][FONT=‘Times New Roman’]knowledge[/FONT][/COLOR] in action script. This actually is from a tutorial and here i am trying to rotate a \_mc(movie clip) as in tutorial they show a working swf. but actually it is not please try to help me…

onClipEvent (load) {  
radius=50;  
degrees=0;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
angle=degrees\*(Mathe.Pl/180);  
degrees=degrees + 2;

xposition=radius \* Math.cos(angle);  
yposition=radius \* Math.sin(angle);

this.\_x=xposition + \_root.center\_cross\_hairs.\_x  
this.\_y=xposition + \_root.center\_cross\_hairs.\_y

\_root.center\_cross\_hairs.\_visible=0;  
}
