Find hitTest angle

[Axristos]

Hi.
I want to create a pong game.
I want to find the angle that the pall hits the pud so i can send it back with another. Is there any way that i can do it???

you dont need to know any angles for pong (basic pong) - all you need to do is reverse the _x direction (for paddles, _y direction for wallS). Then the ball "bounces" accordinly at the right angle.

If however, you want to be able to alter the reflection with proximity to the center of the paddle, then youd need some extra work, throwing in some trig, but that depends on how involved youre getting.

I want to find the angle so i can change it according to the distance from the center of the pud.
I know that method but i don`t wan`t it.
