Cartesian coordinate...

[gimpy16]

in flash the dimentions are (0,0)-(x,y) which poses a problem for a small minded fool like me, because obviously x and y are positive numbers which means the y value of the graph increases as it goes down... is there any way i can fix this so that i dont have to think about it :p

[gimpy16]

how would i go about graphs then...

What you do is calculate all of your math using the cartesian coordinate system, then when you actually assign the values do whatever your doing, just make the y value be:

_y = myMovieHeight-myCartesianY;

so that the Y value is changed appropriately.

or...

_root._yscale=-100;

sorry, that was a bit of a joke. it will technically work, but EVERYTHING will be reversed on the y-axis. text, graphics, jpgs, you name it.

well, it didnt quite work :p check out the mx board... tell me how to do those sine wave things...

Chuckles8421 - thanks!
