3D Carousel

Question

Hi everyone,
Please help. I have script for a 3d Carousel everything works. But I want to get the images to stay facing the front.
I can change most things but am having trouble with getting the images front facing.
The property y.rotation I need to change is not in the same fuction as so I can't dinamically change the value using the eventlistner.
I have tried to do this but have had no success.
p.rotationY = 90; is the value I need to change dynamically but it is in the cacheimages section function initLoadCache(evt:Event):void. I need to be able to get this into the function render(e:Event):void from the addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, render); which is also in the function initLoadCache(evt:Event):void {
I think I can figure the rest out but need some help to figure this out.  
Script:

SM6601: you obviously do not want to be helped here -
dzedward and myself have been here for years
and tens of thousands of helpful posts between us - if you
are not satisfied with the quality/result
of tutorials and samples after googling - do NOT take it out
on us. How about you learn from the
tons of tutorials we pointed to you and you make them better
if you can? Then you can write your own
tutorial and we can then point others to it who have the same
level of perfection you do ok?
If nothing else - please use another forum - there's no need
for attitude like yours. Sorry for not
meeting your expectations.
