Hey Thanys everyone.
excellent work on the explanation.
I'll do the clip(359.999 - currentangle); thing I reacon.
Why.??? the button image is drawn in the first pass. when the user presses the button it gets set to 1 degree and a buttonevent activated which does the timer update.
I have removed the gs it was there when I was trying the cool down by building circles(but I needed a packman). My google never showed me them links. I always use bad search terms.
Remove all my stuff and you would have a nice tutorial... cheers all.
