copied!<h2>New Answer:</h2> <p>In this case you can put every cube that you want to rotate in a Array and call ENTER_FRAME on the a container clip (not for every cube).</p> <p>Looping through your Array (in the container) will be faster than dispatching tons of ENTER_FRAME events (I think).</p> <p>(ask for examples if you need ;D)</p> <hr> <h2>Example</h2> <p>Assuming <code>renderView</code> is a method of MenuCube, I suggest that you put all code needed for rotation inside <code>renderView</code> (information like <code>i++</code>, <code>curTheta</code> and <code>curPhi</code>).</p> <pre><code>// The container where every cube will reside public var CubeContainer:Sprite; // Creating Cubes, setting a listener to rotate them on MOUSE_OVER // and adding them to the container. public function CreateCubes() { CubeContainer = new Sprite(); for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++) { var NewCube = new CubeMenu(/*...*/); NewCube.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RotateMe); CubeContainer.addChild(NewCube); } CubeContainer.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, RotateCubes); } // When MOUSE_OVER fires, start rotating (by pushing it into an Array) // and remove MOUSE_OVER listener public function RotateMe(e:MouseEvent):void { var TargetCube:CubeMenu = e.currentTarget; CubesToRotate.push(TargetCube); TargetCube.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RotateMe); } // ENTER_FRAME of the container... // This will check every container that need to be rotated // and call renderView for it. public function RotateCubes(e:Event):void { for(var i:int = 0; i <= CubesToRotate.length; i++) { var CurrentCube:CubeMenu = CubesToRotate[i]; CurrentCube.renderView(); } } </code></pre> <hr> <h2>Old answer:</h2> <p>If I got it right, you can use MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events:</p> <pre><code>private var i:int = 0; private function setUpListeners():void { spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, boardOver); spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, boardOut); } private function boardOver(e:MouseEvent):void { addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateSquare); } private function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void { removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateSquare); } private function rotateSquare(e:Event) { renderView(curTheta+i, curPhi+i); i++; } </code></pre> <p>This way your Mouse Events will be dispatched <em>only</em> when you move your mouse over and out the <code>spBoard</code>.</p> <p>ps: As you see, the <code>i</code> variable must be defined outside the functions for this to work.</p>
