FLASH: Problem with rotation and position algorithm

[Eric Scott]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with rotating a movie clip and capturing its

subsequent position.  What I am trying to do is rotate a movie clip from 0

to 270 degrees at a relatively quick rate, and then capture how far it has

rotated when the user clicks a button.  The problem is, I need the movie

clip to move faster than is possible by rotating it 1 or 2 degrees at a

time.  I can get the desired rotation speed by using a controller movie clip

and rotating the movie clip 5 degrees each time the controller loops.  The

problem with this setup is that all of the rotation positions are now a

multiple of 5, when I really need to capture the position between 0 and 270.

Of course, I can capture a position between 0 and 270 when I rotate the clip

one degree at a time, but then the rotation is too slow.  Does anyone know

how I can speed up the animation and still be able to capture the values I

need?  What I would really prefer is to capture a floating value between 0

and 270, but an integer will do.


Thanks,

Eric Scott
