Rotation woes

1

First off, please ignore the styling.

Anyhow. What I’m working on is a spinning menu, and it’s sort of working, but there is a particular spot where in order to achieve the rotation that I want, the menu spins entirely around instead of just going the 3 degrees or whatever that it needs. I can’t quite figure out how to fix it.

Note how when you get to the 9 o’clock position it spins around in a weird fashion. Ideas?

The code:


this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    xDistance = this._xmouse-circle_mc._x;
    yDistance = this._ymouse-circle_mc._y;
    normalize = Math.abs(xDistance)+Math.abs(yDistance);
    if ((xDistance>=0) & (yDistance>=0)) {
        mouseDirection = 90*(yDistance/normalize);
    } else if ((xDistance<=0) && (yDistance>=0)) {
        mouseDirection = -90*(xDistance/normalize)+90;
    } else if (((xDistance)<=0) && ((yDistance)<=0)) {
        mouseDirection = -90*(yDistance/normalize)+180;
    } else {
        mouseDirection = 90*(xDistance/normalize)+270;
    }
    speed = 20;
    i = (-mouseDirection-this.circle_mc._rotation)/speed;
    h = ((-mouseDirection-this.circle_mc._rotation)+360)/speed;
    if (mouseDirection<180) {
        this.circle_mc._rotation += i;
        this.circle_mc.menu1._rotation -= i;
        this.circle_mc.menu2._rotation -= i;
        this.circle_mc.menu3._rotation -= i;
        this.circle_mc.menu4._rotation -= i;
        this.circle_mc.blocker_mc._rotation -= i;
    } else if (mouseDirection>180) {
        this.circle_mc._rotation += h;
        this.circle_mc.menu1._rotation -= h;
        this.circle_mc.menu2._rotation -= h;
        this.circle_mc.menu3._rotation -= h;
        this.circle_mc.menu4._rotation -= h;
        this.circle_mc.blocker_mc._rotation -= h;
    }
    this.label_mc.frame_txt.text = frameLabel;
    this.label_mc.frame_txt2.text = frameLabel;
};
this.circle_mc.blocker_mc.onPress = function() {
    startDrag(_root.circle_mc);
};
this.circle_mc.blocker_mc.onRelease = function() {
    stopDrag();
};
