Smooth spinning?

1

Hi All!

I’m trying to figure out how to make the following code spin smoother.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA!

here its…

Create a new movie FLA, 550 x 400
Create a MovieClip on the stage named “spinner”

Paste this code on the timeline:


var leftBoundary:Number = 0;
var rightBoundary:Number = 550;
var topBoundary:Number = 0;
var bottomBoundary:Number = 400;
var boundaryHeight:Number = bottomBoundary-topBoundary;
var boundaryWidth:Number = rightBoundary-leftBoundary;
var quadrantSize:Number = boundaryWidth/2;
var centerPoint:Number = rightBoundary-quadrantSize;
//
this.onMouseMove = function() {
	if (_xmouse>leftBoundary && _ymouse>topBoundary && _xmouse<rightBoundary && _ymouse<bottomBoundary) {
		var panAmount = ((_xmouse-centerPoint)/quadrantSize)*100;
		_root.spinner._rotation = _root.spinner._rotation+(panAmount/5);
		trace(panAmount)
	} else {
		//
	}
};

This will spin the “spinner” MC according to the mouse position.
If you move the mouse to the left or right it will spin in the opposite direction.
