Dynamically placing points on a circle

[MOGE]

Need a mathamagician here...

Let's say I have x number of points (which will vary each time the flash loads) and I want to evenly dipsperse these points around a circle with a known radius. I have a vague idea from the searching I've done that I need to divide the radians into equal amounts and then calculate the x,y for each based on the radians and radius. However, the math is beyond me - don't even really know where to begin with this. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance -

var PI2 = Math.PI * 2;
var radiusSize = 100;
var numOfPoints = 10;
function doDots() {
	var myHolder = this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
	myHolder._x = 150;
	myHolder._y = 150;
	var angleMod = PI2 / numOfPoints;
	var myDepth = 1;
	for (var newAngle = 0; newAngle < PI2; newAngle += angleMod) {
		var myDot = myHolder.attachMovie("dotMC", "dot" + ++myDepth, myDepth);
		myDot._x = Math.cos(newAngle) * radiusSize;
		myDot._y = -Math.sin(newAngle) * radiusSize;
	}
}
doDots();

Cool - thanks very much. I still don't entirely get the math, but I get the code enough that I can modify it for my purposes and pass in dynamic variables.
