rotate 360 and stop

[rickarooni]

Does anybody know how I can get a movie clip to rotate 360 degrees and then stop. I'd even like it to start it's rotation slow and then speed up at the end. I need to do it with action script. I'd like to use Action script 2, since I'm not up to speed on 3 yet.
Thanks.

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var tRotate:Tween = new Tween(mcSquare, "_rotation", Strong.easeIn, 0, 360, 5, true);

This url will help a lot:

I've attached a .zip file with an example FLA as well.

Thank you, rosem. I'm assuming that's not AS3.
So simple. But I don't recognize the syntax.
Guess I'll hit the books.

Yeah, it's AS2.

The Tween class is a class that ships with Flash, but you have to import it to use it. Basically the first two lines are importing the Tween and Easing classes.

The last line greats a new Tween. This might help:

var tRotate:Tween = new Tween(MovieClip to Tween, "property", Easing Type, Start Value, End Value, Time in Seconds, True = Sets it to Seconds, not Frames);

Read through that URL I included, it should answer everything.
