You can do it with this code:

button_mc.onRollOver = function()
{
      this.onEnterFrame = function()
      {
            if(this._rotation > -90){
                  this._rotation -= 3;
            } else {
                  this._rotation = -90;
                  delete this.onEnterFrame;
            }
      }
};
button_mc.onRollOut = function()
{
      this.onEnterFrame = function()
      {
            if(this._rotation < 0){
                  this._rotation += 3;
            } else {
                  this._rotation = 0;
                  delete this.onEnterFrame;
            }
      }
}

Thanks for the reply negatyve.

but im still haveing problems with this. I don't know where you want me to enter that code. i tried placeing it the same place i would put my (on release goto) script but when i tried this it said i had 2 errors.
also i don't think this code will help me for other button animations im working on. so to give a better example. I have made a button that has a RollOver animation but to illistrat what i want the RollOut to look like i made the button go to a new rollOver animation. please take a look at what i mean--------> http://www.geocities.com/tdz_design/buttonAnim.swf

if you think you know how to make this happen please help. i need all the help i can get :)

Oh, I think that the knot is the way you create your buttons. If I could see a fla with just a couple of buttons, relative in and out animations, and your actual script, I could modify it to suit your needs in one minute..

well, you should post it on a public webserver (due to EE guidelines). just remove everything else, leave only buttons, animations, and buttons code
