Bill:
in its most simple form you could script in a button
---------------------------------------------
local sTurning = false
on mouseUp
if sTurning = false then
put true into sTurning
put "This is Bills text" into tText
set the displayText of widget "turnText" to tText
-- turnText it is a property, you script "set the <property> to value
set the turnText of widget "turnText" to true
else
put false into sTurning
set the turnText of widget "turnText" to false
end if
end mouseUp
---------------------------------------------
if that is what you want. It just turns the text until you click on the
button again.
While it is turning you can change other properties like text or speed or
textSize using different buttons. Look at the code of the sliders.
If you wanted it to turn by setting the angle I could give you a different
script.
Kind regards
