Hey guys. I have a problem here. I am trying to make multiple movie objects rotate in a circle. I have the code to make an object move in a circle, but when I try to add that code to another object it follows the same path. What I would like to know, is how do I alter the beginning location of the second object so that it starts in a different location then the other object so that both are visible moving in a circle.

Below is the code I am using for the object:

onClipEvent(load)
{
  cx = Stage.width/2; // coords of center of circle (center of screen, in this case)
  cy = Stage.height/2;

  rad = 120; // radius of circle

  speed = 8; // speed of travel (seconds to make a complete circuit)
  speedScale = (0.001*2*Math.PI)/speed;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
	  var angle = getTimer()*speedScale;
	this._x = cx + Math.sin(angle/2)*rad;
	this._y = cy + Math.cos(angle/2)*rad;
}

Thanks for any help I receive!

Nevermind guys/gals. I decided to go a different route and am using a Motion Guide and tweening the object around a circular motion guide.

Good choice , I was about to write about that. But nice code though.

Hey guys,

I'm also after a solution to a similar issue.

I've incorporated the code that Fenor pasted and it works fine; I'd like to get multiple objects rotating though.

My reason for using the actionscript is that the object moves around a path and doesn't actually rotate.

So, if I have the word 'Hello', I need it to rotate around a circle while staying horizontal. If I use a path the text goes upside down when it follows the path.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
