    depends how flexible and robust the final object needs to be.

    If it was me I would not bother sweating over complicated maths formulaes.

    I would create a shape tween of the entire animation (through 180 degrees or however long you need it) and stick it in a MC.

    then using a code that calculates the angle of the mouse from point F (whilst user drags), then control where the playhead goes in the MC depending on this angle.

    The results might lag a tiny weeny bit behind the mouse and it will need lots of tweaking but I think you could blag it this way.
