Stopping 'Rotation Made EZ'

Ok-
I'm probably making this more complicated than it should be-Messing around with the tute "Rotation Made Easy", and what I want to do is place a button on one corner of the box that rotates with it and will stop the rotation when moused over

how about this, wrap the rotation code in an if statement like this

if (_root.spin == 0) {
setProperty ("box", _rotation, r);
r = r+1;
}

so it only rotates if variable spin equals zero.

then on your button

on (rollOver) {
_root.spin = 1;
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.spin = 0;
}

spin will have a value of zero before the buton is touched the first time by default, so it will spin immediately.
make sense?
