First, I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.
I have been working on this and thinking about it for days but I just can’t seem to get it right. I want to have a circle that I can “pick up” with the mouse and then rotate (with the rotation point in the center). Currently I have done this with the following code:
var radians = Math.atan2(mouseY-circle.y, mouseX-circle.x);
var degrees = Math.round((radians*180/Math.PI));
circle.rotation = degrees + 90;
I have added a mouse listener for movement to the circle mc and then checked if a button was down. On button down this code would be executed on enter frame. This code works but the main problem is that I want to be able to “pick the circle up” at any angle and rotate it. If I pick it up with this code the circle automatically rotates to 90 degrees. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this?
