Hello,

I have a question about rotating movieclips:

![](http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3316/switch5ox.jpg)  
If I click on mc1, then mc1 has to go to the position of mc3, mc3 has to go to the position of mc2. The same thing must happen when I click on mc2, it has to move to the position of mc3 and mc3 has to move to the position of mc1. I would like to create some kind of infinitive effect by rotating the mc’s. In a later stadium I want to fill the mc’s with pictures. But I don’t know a proper solution in as. Could somebody help me with this, or does anyone know an example? Thnx in advance.

Ordell

Thnx for the usefull link but I’m still having problems to build the code.

```auto
var acceleration = 12;
var friction = 0.7;
clipArray = [];
posArray = [];
for (var k = 0; k<6; k++) {
    myclip = attachMovie("mc", "mc"+k, k);
    myclip._y = 50+(myclip._height+40)*k;
    myclip.startx = myclip._x=50;
    myclip.myText.text = "Button "+(k+1);
    clipArray.push(myclip);
    countArray.push(k);
    posArray.unshift(myclip._y);
    myclip.onPress = dostuff;
}
function move() {
    var xdif = posArray[this.jvar]-this._y;
    this.xspeed += xdif/this._parent.acceleration;
    this.xspeed *= this._parent.friction;
    this._y += this.xspeed;
    checkDistance.apply(this);
}
checkDistance = function () {
    if (Math.abs(posArray[this.jvar]-this._y)<1) {
        this._y = posArray[this.jvar];
        if(this._x !=this.startx){
            for(var obj in cliparray){
                cliparray[obj].enabled =true
                cliparray[obj].gotoAndStop(1)
            }
            this.enabled = false
            this.gotoAndStop(2)
        this.onEnterFrame = tweenx;
        }
    }
};
function tweenx() {
    this._x += (this.startx-this._x)/4;
    if (Math.abs(this.startx-this._x)<2) {
        this._x = this.startx;
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
        
    }
}
function dostuff() {
    this._x -= this._width;
    for (var i = 0; i<clipArray.length; i++) {
        clipArray*.ivar = i;
    }
    k = clipArray.splice(this.ivar, 1);
    clipArray = clipArray.concat(k);
    for (var j = 0; j<posArray.length; j++) {
        clipArray[j].jvar = j;
        trace(clipArray[j]+" "+clipArray[j].jvar);
        clipArray[j].onEnterFrame = move;
    }
}

```

I want to have one mc out of the row and set it right of the row with mc’s. How can I manage this? Thnx in advance
