rotating script in flash

• Baskerville

  Hi guys,

  I'm a print designer but I'm having a go at flash. I've got a movie clip that I want to rotate on a loop. I tried using the rotate function in the properties but it looks quite jerky.

  Now I'm trying to rotate it using action scripting. At the moment my code is:

  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  i = getProperty(this,_rotation);
  setProperty(this,_rotation,i + 1);
  }

  The clip now rotates but it rotates about the top left of the clip and I now want to make it rotate about a certain point (X:243.1 Y:199.8)

  how can I do this? It's really annoying me.

  thanks for your help

  why not increase the number of frames and increase the frame rate? will look a lot smoother

  center the image in yr MC about the 0,0 point of the MC. It will then rotate about the centre
