Here ya go Anonymous Monk, see Zinc-rotating dial demo. I used a different technique than actually dragging the ball, so that the mouse could leave the inner ball and still drag.
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Thanks again zentara, had a quick go(just ran it and played for a while) with it while I'm on the net... It looks good... Will go through it with a tooth comb tonight, and hopefully will learn something.
Just hoping it works upside down(someone at that position as it were), as mine I think I would have had problems with.
