HELP: Smooth Rotating vinyl

[dsydius]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to create a rotating vinyl. I have managed to do this but after every full rotation the vinyl sticks.

How can I make the rotation smooth without it sticking.

it's a 20 frame movie clip.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It would be easier to help you if you explained the way you've created your movie clip or upload your fla file here

But actually, if you wanna create a rotating object, the easiest way to do this is to add an event listener for ENTER_FRAME event to your object and add some degrees to this object's rotation property every frame

vinyl.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateVynil);

function rotateVinyl(e:Event):void
{
     vinyl.rotation += 5;
}

Hi Casey,

Thanks for your comment.

Can you tell me if I should create just one layer and use the above script for each frame?

How do I upload a .fla file to here? Sorry.....I am such a noobie!

Under quick reply box click Go advanced, then -> manage attachments

It will work the same but definitely be easier to manage.

I found an actionscript command which seems to be working now.

Do you think I could make the rotation smoother?

Yes. In your library, right-click the lyricforge_rec2.png image and go to properties. Under compression choose Lossless, and check Allow Smoothing. This will do the trick.

But I see the problem with rotation. When it reaches the last frame it stops for a while and then starts to rotate again.

So, look at how I did it http://slil.ru/29531668
