I just want to rotate it

[fgissubel]

I just want to have a mc rotate when the mouse goes over and stop when it goes out. Right now I'm just working on it going over and it goes to the right and to the right and it's not repeating. What am I doing wrong. PLEEEAASSEEEE HELPPP.

stop();

var angle:Number = 0;
var radius:Number = 150;
var angleChange:Number = 10;
rotateButton_mc.x = 393.9;
rotateButton_mc.y = 218.6;

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, over);

function over(evt:Event):void
{
var radian:Number = deg2rad(angle);
rotateButton_mc.x = rotateButton_mc.x + radius * Math.cos(radian);
rotateButton_mc.y = rotateButton_mc.y + radius * Math.sin(radian)
angle += angleChange;
angle %= 360;

}
function deg2rad(deg:Number):Number
{
return deg * (Math.PI/180)
}

You need to have the loop continually play until the mouseout event occurs. You could try either a stage eventListener onEnterFrame or home_btn eventListener onEnterFrame. Make sure to remove the listener on the mouseout otherwise it will continue regardless.

Jst Use The Transform Tool!

I got it to do what I want, but if you roll over the button enough times it bugs out and spins when it should just snap back and stop. Is there something wrong with my math somewhere.. please help. I almost got it. Is there a way to add elastic when it returns or no?

stop();

var over:Boolean = false;
var angle:Number = 0;
var angleChange:Number = 10;

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onOver, false, 0, true);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onOut, false, 0, true);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop, false, 0, true);


function onLoop(evt:Event):void
{
if (over)
{
angle += angleChange;
angle %= 360;
rotateButton_mc.rotation = angle;
}
}


function onOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
over = true;
}

function onOut(evt:MouseEvent):void {
over = false;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, outLoop, false, 0, true);
function outLoop(evt:Event):void
{
angle -= angleChange;
angle %= 360;
rotateButton_mc.rotation = angle;
if (angle == 0)
{
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, outLoop);
}
}
}

Cn U Jst Snd Me The Fla File And Then I Can Have A Look

Try this, I've updated your code a little. You were on the right track, just needed to group two actions. Good work.

var over:Boolean = false;
var angle:Number = 0;
var angleChange:Number = 10;

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onOver, false, 0, true);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onOut, false, 0, true);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop, false, 0, true);


function onLoop(evt:Event):void
{
	if (over)
	{
		angle += angleChange;
		angle %= 360;
		rotateButton_mc.rotation = angle;
	}
	else
	{
		if(angle != 0)
		{
			angle -= angleChange;
			angle %= 360;
			rotateButton_mc.rotation = angle;
		}
		
	}
}


function onOver(evt:MouseEvent):void 
{
	over = true;
}

function onOut(evt:MouseEvent):void 
{
	over = false;
}

I used what you had, but just moved it around. It was the second onEnterFrame listener that was causing you your problem.

That worked great, thanks so much. unfortunately, that wasn't the end to what I wanted to do. I am trying to make it slightly trail and blur.... This is what I have so far and it says I'm missing some bracket, but I don't see it.
If you guys can help I'd appreciate it, this is my first flash project, but I don't want to cheese out, I want to learn it full force....thanks guys. Fred.
