I am trying to set up a menu rotating. When you click on a button the movie clip rotates that button the the 90º position. I want the movie clip to rotate clock wise. It works fine with numbers smaller than 180, whenever I use a number larger that 180 the movie clip continues to rotate instead of stopping after reaching the set position. Anyone have some advise for me.

here is the action script ------------------------------  
//Orb rotation code  
Orb.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_rotation -= (this.\_rotation-turn)/12;  
};

//button actions less than 180 works  
Orb.btn1.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.turn = 90;  
};

// more than 180 rotation never stops  
Orb.btn2.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.turn = 225;  
};
