Re: FLASH: How do you make a button rotate a MC?

[Nathan Dicken]

Hi Mick,


If you want to do this with one quarter turn per button press then you can

use this...


On (Release)

      Set Property ("/your mc", Rotation) = getProperty("/your

mc",_rotation) + 90

End On


If you'd like to do this repeatedly while the mouse is pressed, then on

mouse press send the playhead to a two frame loop which does the above

action on one frame and uses the Go To Previous Frame on the next.  On

releasing the mouse from the button, just send the playead back to a

holding frame.  If you're doing the rotation on one frame (first example)

you'll need to do a playhead "jump" of some sort as the screen won't redraw

the mc at the new rotation until the playhead moves.  Probably your best

bet is to use the button to go to a frame loop that rotates the mc.


Hope that helps...
