[URGENT HELP] Rotating Menu (AS 2.0)

Hi all,

I’m just wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me solve this problem. I’ve created a rotating navigation menu with 4 parts/submenus. I’m having trouble of figuring the following:

[LIST=1]
[]To make the rotation/spinning graphics look smoother
[
]On rollover of one of the submenu/movieclip (the rotation will stop and continue on rollout), it should hide/decrease the alpha of other submenus, so a rollover effect could be seen. I’ve already tried with this:

    _parent.MCInstanceName._alpha = 30;

But when on mouse rollout, the hovered submenu/movieclip does not continue to rotate.
[/LIST]
I’ve attached my source files if you guys want to have a look at it. Please help me, because I am pretty much a newbie at AS and I’m hitting a dead end. Any suggestions or help would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance…
