Vertical Rotating menu, how to duplicate a button?

[KiO]

Hi guys,

I know someone already asked for a rotating menu or similar,
but i didnt see any tutes about what I like to make,

to start off, here is a link of the menu that i like to do :
http://www.eyeland.com/preload.swf?swf=inclined.swf

I saw a tutorial here at actionscript.com about "Trigonometry in Flash" where the ball is roatating around the x axis.
http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/advanced/trigonometry_and_flash/index4.shtml

I think the menu can be done this way but I dont know how to duplicate the ball or in what i want to do.. a button.
I have also looked at the the tutorial on how to duplicate a movie clip, but the problem is that I dont know how to use it with the Trigonometry script........
is this even the right way to do it? or a different way?


Ive been searchin' the web now for a week to achieve this effect, so far the Trigonometry script is the closest way to achieve this, well that's what I think :D

Im plannin' to place it at the lower left side of my website, well actually its a group of friends website thing :p
Ive put up a temporary website to test the the things that ive done so far, heres the link incase ur interested... :D

And especially http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=16538

But before you do that, let me tell you that I find this menu absolutely NOT usable. Eye-candy, sure, but not practical. So think twice before you use it :)

pom :cool:
