i am sorry i can't send the original .fla, as it was created for ( and paid for) as part of a job for someone else. i am glad to go over the steps on what to do again if you want. i am assuming that you created the original swf that you posted, so you understand how to make your movieclip, and to create its 'drag and drop' capabilities ( which in these cases equates as a rotating dial)

some steps:
1) create your dial with 'blades'. turn that into a movieclip symbol and give it an instance name ( for instance mine was called 'mc').

2) edit that movieclip symbol ('mc') by double clicking it and enter it's timeline.

3) create a new shape or whateer and turn that into a movieclip symbol. give it an instance name ( mine was called 'red'). place/position it on top of one of the 'blades' of the dial

4) repeat step 3 for all the blades.

5) write your actionscript code for the 'drag and drop' /rotating dial. you already know this since it was part of the original swf that you posted

6) write code for the movieclip/blade/buttons to do what you want them to do. for instance:
mc.red.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, myFunction);

function myFunction(e:MouseEvent):void {
myVideoPlayer.source="redVideo.f4v";
myVideoPlayer.play();
}


i hope that helps. if there are specifics you don't undetrstand, please ask
