Making _rotate rotate smoothly

[flashlearning11]

I have this script:

on (release) {
mc1._rotation -=90;
}

it rotates the movieclip 1, but I want it to rotate smoothly (accelerate and then brake).

How can it be changed?

Use a tweening class. You could even use an interval, but a class like
Tweener would work better. I use Tweener ( http://code.google.com/p/tweener/)
so using it you'd just do:

import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

on(release){
Tweener.addTween(mc1, {_rotation:-90, time:2});
}

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I tried:

import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

on(release){
Tweener.addTween(mc1, {_rotation:-90, time:2});
}

It did import the package but the button is not working.

on (release) {
mc1._rotation -=90;
}

was OK.

What is the difference?

I think I see what you want. Try this:

on(release){
Tweener.addTween(mc1, {_rotation:mc1._rotation - 90, time:2});
}

That will tween mc1 -90º from it's current rotation, on each release.
