OK I think I am getting the hand of this, although have a couple of
questions based upon my test page
http://www.rjconway.homeip.net/playground.html
1. Firefox kind of behaves as expected. IE the element goes crazy in
a circle and then stabilises.
2. in FF if I specify "paper.rect(320, 320, 100,2).rotate(-20).animate
({rotation: 100},5000);" the animation always seems to start at 0 and
go to 100 degrees and not start at the intial -20 degrees.
3. I am rotating a rectangle as a pointer, how do a specify the point
which to rotate around. I want it to rotate around the end of the
rectangle not the middle.
4. Did not really see how to draw just a simple line say 2 px wide as
a pointer thus I used a rectangle.
would really appreciate some help
