Making Objects Spin

Never mind I was wrong someone has made here, cool.

Glad you found a solution, and thanks for sharing :)

Does anybody know if there is a way to do a custom spin for an object that is LESS than a quarter spin?

Hi Stoo,

I haven't seen a lot of examples on additional spinning options - but I did want to update this, as the link Joseph shared didn't work for me, so you'll want to use the link here. 

There are probably ways to 'hack' this. Do you have a .story file you can share?

Thanks for your reply, Ashley. I checked out that link earlier. The problem when you use states for movement is that the previous state doesn't disappear fast enough. There is a "ghosting" effect by the first state while the second state transitions. What I ended up doing was creating two separate pictures in two position stages and just had them appear and disappear on the timeline. It looks choppier than an appropriate spin would but I guess that is the best I can do at the moment.

Thanks for the reply, Michael. What kind of "hack" do you have in mind? :-)

That would very much depend on the specific example. I was thinking maybe rapidly cycling through states or somehow stopping a standard spin animation at a particular point. Anyway, sounds like you already came up with a solution.

Good suggestions, Michael. I thought about those too but the time I would need to spend on those possible solutions is greater than the benefit I would receive for this one animation.
