James, yes I mean a rotary control. Eric, here's a real-world example of what I'm trying to implement:
http://www.niji.or.jp/home/k-nisi/sa-9900-h.jpg I'm looking for control knobs such as those found on a stereo; both continuous ones such as a volume knob, and "n-step" knobs such as the "function" knob in that picture, where the knob can only be rotated in n steps. I found some leads which I was going to try. I was going to mix this approach: http://blog.circlecube.com/2008/03/tutorial/interactive-spin-actionscript-tutorial/ with the jquery rotate plugin: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/365820/howto-rotate-image-using-jquery-rotate-plugin Still, your help would be immensely appreciated. Of course I would want the knob image to look like it's rotating, but I also want the control to return a value depending on its position, similar to how a slider returns a value.
