Thanks Robert for your help. Just for the record, I have the following
code on the mc at the moment - hold down shift and drag the mouse for
rotation to occur. It's not very good - I'm still trying to improve
it, to remove that rotation "jump" you can see when you first hold
down shift and drag the mouse.
onClipEvent (load) {
clicked = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
X = this._x;
Y = this._y;
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && Key.isDown(1)) {
clicked = true;
this.startDrag("");
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) && clicked == true) {
this.stopDrag();
Xm = _parent._xmouse;
Ym = _parent._ymouse;
Xdiff = Xm-X;
Ydiff = Ym-Y;
radAngle = Math.atan2(Ydiff, Xdiff);
this._rotation = radAngle*360/(2*Math.PI);
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
clicked = false;
this.stopDrag();
}
}
