Hi people.

Im trying to write the codes for buttons that make a Square rotate faster and slower. I tried hard but it did not work. Any help, appriciated, thanks. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/798/c985a958819d8917.gif)

how about a slider to control speed of the square\_mc. can some1 give me the code. thanks

this is the code:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, startRotate);

function startRotate(evt:Event):void {  
// Call function rotateSquare  
rotateSquare();  
}

function rotateSquare():void {  
// Rotate the MovieClip  
square\_mc.rotation += 3;  
output\_txt.text = "Current rotation angle: " + square\_mc.rotation;}

slower\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, slower);

function slower(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
square\_mc.speed -=1;  
}

faster\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, faster);

function faster(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
square\_mc.speed +=1;  
}
