random rotation game

[thebetterpeople]

hello, im new to making games...

im trying to set up a game that is like roulet. the user clicks on the chamber they want to load the bullet, then a button to spin it.

when they click spin i want flash to splin the barrel and for it to slow down slowly and randomly. i would then set it up to detect if the chamber that is in the top position(ie the shooting position) is 'loaded' the perform an action...

i imagine that i can set the rotation as

setProperty("barrel", _rotation, random(360));???

or maybe i should make the figure random(3600)?? - this way it would 'spin' more? but this simply moves the barrel to that position, it wont spin it? right?

so how would i effect the speed or spin? to slow it down as the momentum of the barrel slows down?

anyhelp would be much appreciated,

cheers,

Hey - mbenney and i helped you (i hope ) in your identical post in the games forum.

Please either

1) don't cross thread

or

2) put a quick note saying it's sorted out elsewhere, so as not to confuse, waste peoples time etc,

cheers.
