MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-FLASH LITE 2.X ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE - Rotation (Movieclip._Rotation Property)

510 ActionScript classes
Example
Each time you click a button in the following example, you attach a movie clip instance to the
Stage in a random position. When you click a movie clip instance, you remove that instance
from the SWF file.
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randNum:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min))+min;
return randNum;
}
var bugNum:Number = 0;
addBug_btn.onRelease = addBug;
function addBug() {
var thisBug:MovieClip = this._parent.attachMovie("bug_id",
"bug"+bugNum+"_mc", bugNum,
{_x:randRange(50, 500), _y:randRange(50, 350)});
thisBug.onRelease = function() {
this.removeMovieClip();
};
bugNum++;
}

_rotation (MovieClip._rotation property)
public _rotation : Number
Specifies the rotation of the movie clip, in degrees, from its original orientation. Values from 0
to 180 represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise
rotation. Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value
within the range. For example, the statement
my_mc._rotation = 450 is the same as
my_mc._rotation = 90.
