Re: FLASH: Problem with rotation and position algorithm

[Nathan Dicken]

Good idea.  I was thinking of the same thing.  Before the user is allowed

to press the button to do the rotation thing you could possibly do a test

rotation or two (somehow invisible to the user) to get and average any

timer data that you might need.  It wouldn't be entirely accurate but with

a little playing around with the idea you could probably get the technique

to work accurate enough for your purpose.
