Re: FLASH: Problem with rotation and position algorithm

[Cheri Harder]

Hi, Eric


I think you could maybe use the GetTimer function combined with the speed of

rotation.  You could GetTimer on the start of the rotation, get it again on

user click, subtract, and divide the difference by whatever it takes to move

one degree....


Or something along these lines????
