Hi Ian--welcome to the list.  You can use decimal values for rotation

with no problem--I posted an example of a pie chart with duplicated

movie clips being rotated multiples of 3.6 degrees (1/100 of a circle)

at http://i-technica.com/whitestuff/piechart.html if you want to

download the fla and take a look.

Helen
