The rotation of the body is constant

ROTATION_SPEED = 4;

Number of pegs - and legs for the clip above us.

NUM_PEGS = 3;

Measure and duplicate the pegs

peg_center_radius = peg_0._x;
peg_radius = peg_0._width / 2;

The angle and half angle between two pegs.

peg_angle_step = /:NUM_DEG / NUM_PEGS;
peg_angle_step_half = peg_angle_step / 2;

Duplicate the pegs.

i = 0;
while (i < NUM_PEGS)
{
   peg_name = "peg_" add i;
   if (i > 0) duplicateMovieClip ("peg_0", peg_name, i);
   peg_angle = i * peg_angle_step + peg_angle_step_half;

   setProperty (peg_name, _x, eval ("/:COS_" add int(peg_angle)) * peg_center_radius);
   setProperty (peg_name, _y, eval ("/:SIN_" add int(peg_angle)) * peg_center_radius);
   setProperty (peg_name, _rotation, - peg_angle);
   i++;
}
