[Solved]

________________________________________________________________________

Something like this should work:

give the circle an instance variable a

on circle touched set a to abs(circle.angle-angle(circle.x,circle.y,touch.x,touch.y))

touch is touching circle - circle set angle : angle(circle.x,circle.y,touch.x,touch.y)-a

could be I've made a mistake somewhere, but what I'm trying to do is get the offset between circle.angle and the angle towards touch and use that offset while moving the finger..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The code should have been:

on circle touched set a to circle.angle-angle(circle.x,circle.y,touch.x,touch.y)

touch is touching circle - circle set angle : angle(circle.x,circle.y,touch.x,touch.y) + a

Fixed it in this capx

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They are probably using some form of interpolation, in my capx the angle is set every tick to the position of the finger..

To have the circle move on release will take some math I'm not so good at..

Could try to create it, but don't really have the time for that now, sorry..

Don't worry, I'll try on my own, otherwise I'll talk to some more people ^^

Thank you for all your help ^^

Sounds like this maybe?

Swinging?... Oh I see it. The sprite's hotspot may need a little adjusting.

You could make this a little clearer? Do not want to be bothering you, but arranging this party, I can give the case as closed

Sure,

It appears to swing because the sprite's origin point may not be in the exact center of the cog. You can adjust it in the image editor. Or it also may look like it's swinging because of the cog's shading.

Problem solved, just like you said, the image point was not exactly centered. Thank you so much ^^

LittleStain: Thank you for the example...helped me solve a problem I was working on.
