Carousel Menu

Hi,

wondered if you guys can help?

I am trying to make a carousel menu (like the one on goto and learn.com), but instead of loading my menu objects in via an xml file I want to attach the movie clips (with linkages) from the library to the stage and have them revolving around the axis.


Taking some of the code and modifying it, so far I can only attach one movie clip called "helpdesk"from the library to the t variable and have it revolving on the stage. How can I attach more than one movie clip to the stage and have it revolving around the axis?

Here is the code.

I've tried attaching more movie clips to the t variable but it doesn't work.
Do you know where I'm going wrong?


var numOfItems:Number=1
var radiusX:Number=250;
var radiusY:Number=75;
var centerX:Number=Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number=Stage.height/2;
var speed:Number=0.05;
var perspective:Number=150;



var t= this.attachMovie("helpdesk","helpdesk",1);



t.angle=numOfItems*((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);


t.onEnterFrame=mover;


function mover()
{
this._x=Math.cos(this.angle)* radiusX + centerX;
this._y=Math.sin(this.angle)* radiusY + centerY;

var s= (this._y-perspective)/(centerY+radiusY-perspective);
this._xscale= this._yscale=s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale)+100);

}

this.onMouseMove=function()

{
speed=(this._xmouse-centerX)/2000;
}
