Well the answer is infront of your face really, just need to understand how the if loop works, but here is the answer for you based on jbums code...

code:


// set this to maximum desired rate

_root.mc.maxRate = 0;

// set this to control the initial acceleration

_root.mc.accel = 0.5;

_root.mc.curRate = 20;



_root.mc.onEnterFrame=function()

{

        if (this.curRate > this.maxRate)

        {

                this.curRate -= this.accel;

        }

        this._rotation -= this.curRate;

}


how does it work? simple, if the value of this.curRate is greater than the value of this.maxRate it tells curRate to decrease by the acceleration rate (this.curRate -= this.accel
it then tells the object to rotate by that amount
(this._rotation -= this.curRate

hope that answers your question and better understands the flash code as well

yeah i used jbum's.

now, im wondering, if i have it spinning like it is, how can i get it to decrease to a stop as if someone pressed the stop button?
