Rotating Menu/Panels. How to stop them onRelease?

Question

Hi all,
I got this script from a tutorial site (
http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=1284).
It's a 3D rotating menu/panels, reacting to mouse movement. On
mouse click, it will expand to a certain size, but I can't stop the
rotation. How can I stop the rotation with the specified panel
facing front when mouse release, and return to rotating and its
original size upon second mouse click??
And, I notice it's a little buggy, the panel shink to a size
smaller than original size when you do a quick click while it's
still expanding. :S
I don't know how I can attach the codes here because all the
codes are all over the instance and frames. Perhaps you can check
out the original tutorial

Many thanks!! I really appreciated it!

Not sure if it helps, here are the codes from the FLA file:
this._visible = false;
var numrotos = 3;
for (n = 0; n < numrotos; n++){
newroto = "roto" + String(n);
this.attachMovie("roto", newroto, n + 1);
this[newroto].theta = n * 360 / numrotos;
this[newroto].panel = 31;
this[newroto].radius = 100;
this[newroto].contents.gotoAndStop(n + 1);
} // end of for
this.title.swapDepths(100);
if (_root._ymouse < 120 || _root._ymouse > 280) {
speed = speed * 0.950000;
} else {
speed = -_xmouse / 50;
this._visible = true;
on (press)
if (out)
_parent.pressv = -2;
out = false;
else
_parent.pressv = 2;
out = true;
} // end if
if (pressv != 0)
this.panel = this.panel + pressv;
pressv = pressv * 0.95;
if (pressv < 0.200000 && pressv > -0.200000)
pressv = 0;
} // end if
} // end if
theta = theta + _parent.speed;
xbit = Math.sin(0.017453 * theta);
ybit = Math.cos(0.017453 * theta);
this._xscale = ybit * this.panel;
this._x = xbit * this.radius;
this._alpha = 30 + (ybit + 1) * 50;
this._yscale = this.panel + (ybit + 1) * 3;
stack = Math.round((ybit + 1) * radius * 2);
if (stack == 100)
stack = 101;
} // end if
this.swapDepths(stack);
