:bu:

I am trying to create a wheel of fortune type rotation. I have created a swf (5 frames) of a an upright wheel then I added one line of action script, which works fine.

[my\_btn.\_rotation += 161;]

I was thinking I could import this swf in a new movie then tilt the rotation swf to look like a wheel on it’s side. When I imported the rotation swf it did not rotate?

Which I just realized, the above is not going to work, but I still wish to know why the imported rotation swf did not work?

I have a 2nd question how can I create a wheel of fortune type wheel.
