Dammit Dammit Dammit!!!

I’ve got a really simple problem.

I have a .fla with a circle that I want to spin clockwise if the mouse is to the left of it (mouse.\_x \>800) and counter clockwise if (mouse.\_x\<800), with the speed tied to the mouse.\_y value.

![](http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/8518/spinnypg0.gif)

here’s my code (so far). I’ve been trying to do this without help for a few days and it’s not going so hot.

onClipEvent(enterFrame) = function () {  
if (mouse.\_y\>600) spinny.\_rotation=5;  
}else{  
if (mouse.\_y\>600) spinny.\_rotation=-5;  
}

I appreciate any assistance.
