Here is the way I would do it.
wheel movieclip has instance name of 'wheel'
2 buttons with instance names of btn1 and btn2
All code is in frame 1, nothing attached to anything.

// ************* wheel stuff ***********
this.wheel.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this._rotation += _root.direction;
}

// ************* button 1 stuff ***********
btn1.onRollOver = function()
{
direction = 5;
}

btn1.onRollOut = function()
{
direction = 0;
}

btn1.onRelease = function()
{
direction = 0; // if you want to stop wheel when button is pressed
}

// ************* button 2 stuff ***********
btn2.onRollOver = function()
{
direction = -5;
}

btn2.onRollOut = function()
{
direction = 0;
}

btn2.onRelease = function()
{
direction = 0; // if you want to stop wheel when button is pressed
}
// ***********************************

well I would, but there are multiple buttons and two seperate wheels. that would work way better, but i have to stick to the intial design laid out by the graphics guy. Thanks for your help though!

I think it would easier to make the button a movie clip, unless that is what you have, good job. Then try this:

wheel.onRollOver = function() { wheel._roration = wheel._rotation + 25; }
wheel.onRollOut = function() { wheel._roration = wheel._rotation + 0; }
whell.onPress = funciton() { /*what you want it to do*/ };

That is my suggestion.
