Hi all – first post here, I’m relatively new to the AS3/Flex world so there will likely be glaring issues with the code in question below. All constructive feedback is welcome.

I have a task to build a spinning wheel in AS3/Flex, either as an extension of UIComponent or ProgrammaticSkin. I’ve drafted something up that extends UIComponent, and would appreciate any feedback on the pros/cons of this. Ideally I could use this component as a preloader.

Also, I believe there is an issue with the way I am implementing rotateAroundInternalPoint, because the object slowly moves up and left as it rotates. Its subtle but it makes me think there is maybe a problem elsewhere in the code.

Thanks!  
Dave
