Actionscript 2 help needed on rotating movieclip

[Guest]

I need help with the "stopping" of a movieclip rotation.  I think this would be easy for you Flash gurus but impossible for me.

Here is the description.  The code below shows a movieclip rotating after mouse click but i want it to stop in place after 60 degrees.  Basically I need it to rotate 60 degrees after every mouse click and stop.  The "trace" function is there so i know something will happen when it rotates a certain degree.  Right now it rotates continually after the mouse click.

mc.onRelease=function(){

     mc.onEnterFrame=function(){

          mc._rotation=mc._rotation+=10;

          if(mc._rotation==60){

          trace("HIT");

}

}

}

As a bonus i would like the rotation of every 60 degrees to ease in and out.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

When the _rotation value reaches the 60 degree mark, you need to delete the onEnterFrame delete mc.onEnterFrame;.

There is only one position where the _rotation value will == 60, so if the intention is to stop it at every 60 degrees, then you'll need to change the conditional to be...

if(mc._rotation%60==0){

So....

mc.onRelease = function(){

     mc.onEnterFrame = function(){

          mc._rotation = mc._rotation+=10;

          if(mc._rotation%60==0){

             trace(mc._rotation);

             delete mc.onEnterFrame;

          }

     }

}

If you want to have easing, I suggest looking into using Actionscript tweening.  With steps of 10 there's little room to ease.

Thank you sooooo much.  Exactly what i needed!  I will look into Actionscript tweening but it is a low priority for now.

You're welcome.
