Hello! I have this code gong on…
local function animate( event )
blades.rotation = blades.rotation + 33
end
I’m wondering how I can stop it. And I don’t mean delete the code… I want to stop it with the press of a button. I know how to make the button and stuff, but I’m looking for a little command that will pause/stop it. Thank You!

How are you doing this? On a Runtime event listener or a timer, or what?
Can’t really say anything without knowing how it is actually working

Okay. I’m using a runtime event listener. “Runtime:addEventListener( “enterFrame”, animate )”
I’ve been using your tutorials and they are very handy!! thank you!

Glad to hear it 
Thanks.
To stop the event, do this;
[lua]Runtime:removeEventListener( “enterFrame”, animate )[/lua]
You could put that in a function by itself and tie it to a button.
Make sense?

I have another question… I hope I’m not bothering you.
Is there any way to make the rotations speed up to +33 gradually?

Hey there,
No, not bothering me at all (Sorry for the delay, was traveling back to Australia and am only now back online.)
You want it to go up gradually?
Try this in a new project as an example;
[lua]local background = display.newImage( “world.jpg” )
local blades = display.newRect( 140, 140, 40, 40 )
local myRotation = 1
local function spin ()
blades.rotation = blades.rotation + myRotation
myRotation = myRotation+1
end
Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, spin)[/lua]
That will look a little odd as the rotation keeps on going up, you’d want to limit it.
Make sense?
