I know most applications use sliders; yet, I actually prefer the knobs
that are more realistic. In my opinion, if you are going to make it
look like a knob, it should function like one.
To create them, I think a good way is to track the mouse's x,y and
angle, using the centre of the knob as the origin, and then if cursor.y
> origin.y disable the knob from moving past given points, unless the
user goes backward.

I think in general, knobs always behave like sliders. Take for example Ableton
Live, a music software which use a lot of knobs, they all behave like sliders.
I think the knobs on the link you were referring to may seem more realistic but
are actually harder to use.

Thats nice, but it works like a slider (manipulated). Looking more for a
traditional behaving knob.

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 Nice Knob(s)
I am looking for an AS3 knob that is close to this:
http://keith-hair.net/blog/examples/niceknobs/
yet is something I can use in the Flash CS4 IDE - a SWC would even be
nice to link up to. The URL above is just an example.
Being able to optionally check + or - movements on 360ยบ revolutions
(detents) would be a huge plus.
If the code is accessible, that would be super awesome for tweaking.
Tried googling, haven't found anything close yet. Any help?
