Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out how to stop the onEnterFrame function on this spinning wheel script. I can have it rotate the wheel while arrow button is pressed, but when the wheel stops, the onEnterFrame function still performing the “slowDown” function. How do I stop it? Here’s the script attached on the 1st frame

Thanks.  
Buddy

function spinWheel(myTarget) {  
whell\_rotation = 0;  
myRandom = 0;  
//Optional allow press of wheel to spin.  
\_root.onEnterFrame = function() {  
myTarget.\_rotation += whell\_rotation;  
};  
function slowDown() {  
myTarget.onEnterFrame = function() {  
whell\_rotation -= \_root.myRandom;  
trace(\_root.myRandom);  
if (whell\_rotation\<=0) {  
whell\_rotation = 0;  
//\_root.clicker.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
};  
};  
speedup = function () {  
myTimer = getTimer();  
myTarget.onEnterFrame = function() {  
whell\_rotation++;  
//\_root.clicker.gotoAndPlay(“clickStart”);  
if (whell\_rotation\>=10) {  
whell\_rotation = 10;  
pauseTimer = getTimer();  
timeTrace = pauseTimer-myTimer;  
trace(timeTrace);  
if (timeTrace\>4000) {  
slowDown();  
}  
}  
};  
};  
}

spinWheel(\_root.wheel);

// button script  
arrow\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
myRandom = Math.random()\*.30;  
if (myRandom\<=.10) {  
myRandom = .10;  
}  
trace(myRandom);  
speedup();  
};
