okay this the code i ended up with after implenting one of your methods

var radians2:Number = 180/Math.PI;
var maxAng:Number = 89;
//this is the rotating speed that am trying to add
//var...

cool game coding wise
didnt enjoy it at all
its still missing that "fun factor"

bump!cuse i still cant find the answer anywhere

yah neither of the codes work they behave weird when i used your code

aaaahhhh my head hurts

i couldnt see the answer to my problem in that thread

okay thanks didnt catch that one
now one more dilemma this is what i got so far.
i cant figure out at all how to adjust the rotating speed to give it a more natural feel to it. in other words i...

hmm...that worked...so i had the values of my maxAng backwards?!

the part thats not working is the one trying to stop the guy from making a full circle i want him to stop at 90 degrees. on the first code i got up there it works fine but thats with the keys. so...

am trying to use this technique but i cant get it work...
