Easing Rotation

[rustybones]

Hey guys, I've been scouring through these forums for the past hour or so with no joy so heres the problem:

I'm basically creating a turntable in flash. Now I'm using this code :


onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._rotation += 8;
}


on the MC that I want to rotate. Now what I need to do is when the user presses the "off" buttons the record slows down to a stop. It should be pretty simple but hey, I'm a dumbarse! :(

Hey thanks for that, thats pretty much what I"m after, except with the start and stopping on a button and for the disc to start spinning as soon as it enters the frame...

Sorry to be a hassle :)

stopFactor = .9;
startFactor = 1.1;
minSpeed = .1;
maxSpeed = 30;
speed = maxSpeed;
//
function spin(){
this._rotation += speed;
}
function stopSpinning (){
speed *= stopFactor;
this._rotation += speed;
if(speed < minSpeed){
speed = minSpeed;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace("stopped spinning");
}
}
function startSpinning (){
speed *= startFactor;
this._rotation += speed;
if(speed > maxSpeed){
speed = maxSpeed;
this.onEnterFrame = spin;
trace("spinning at full speed");
}
}
//
// You need 3 clips on stage
// Spinner, StopButton and StartButton
Spinner.onEnterFrame = spin;
StopButton.onRelease = function(){
Spinner.onEnterFrame = stopSpinning;
}
StartButton.onRelease = function (){
if(speed<1) speed = 1;
Spinner.onEnterFrame = startSpinning;
}
