User spinning MC

[font=Arial, Helvetica][size=2]Hey all…

I have a movie clip on the stage, which is a record.

What I want, is for the user to be able to move the mouse over, click down, and spin the record left and right. To confuse matters, I would like to keep the record spinning (tapering to a stop) after they flick the cursor across the screen in either (any) direction.

I also need to set a maximum velocity (?), whereby when it is spun hard enough, an event is triggered. I gather this will just involve querying the number of rotations within a given time. Any ideas?

The alternative is to just make a spin animation that activates when its clicked, but I figure this would make it a lil more interesting.
