Im sorry but Im just more confused by your description..

I have no clue what you mean by all this 6 o'clock position stuff..

when you click 3 o'clock, the whole clock
needs to rotate around with the 3 o'clock btn at the 6 o'clock position
huh?


Do you want this:

you have a 'clock face'

1-12 numbers, just like a clock

each number is a 'button'

when you click on any of these numbers.. you want the 'hour hand' movieClip to rotate to that number/position.


your 'tricky part' is that you want it to take the 'shortest' route to get to that position?


is this correct?
