Rotating an image on mouse over

[tgarber]

I want to rotate an image of a volume knob to a text button when a user places his/her mouse over the text button. There are going to be about 4 text buttons surrounding the left side of the knob. I want the knob to rotate to whatever text button the user mouses over. How do I do it? I am a novice at this so I need the procedure to be in basic layman's terms! I've added an image so you can better understand what I mean. It's just an image... no attempt at making the .swf file.

Thanks,

Hi,

Maybe something like this...

myButton.onRollOver=function() {
myImageMC._rotation=180;
}
myButton2.onRollOver=function() {
myImageMC._rotation=170;
}

Just change the value for each button and play around with the rotation value until it rotates correctly to each button.

Hope it helps

Why don't you offer him your own rotating buttons scripts, in your yesterday's thread?

Thanks, NTD....

I'll try it and get back to you!

O.N.
It seemed more appropriate to show how the rotation property works instead of dropping a more complex function in, but by all means if you wish to show how to do it, be my guest.

Math.sin and Math.cos
