[help] need hlp plz

hi
im making a game and i want the character to move with the arrow keys but face in the direction of the mouse... kinda like a top-down fps (pple who play cs or other fps should know what i mean)

well anyways
i got the guy to move around (easy part) but i cant get him to face in the direciton of my mouse

this is the code im currently using (i took out the mouse part cuz it was screwing it up)
if any 1 can help me i would greatly appreciate it

onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isdown(key.RIGHT)) {
play();
_x+= speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.LEFT)) {
play();
_x-= speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.UP)) {
play();
_y-= speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.DOWN)) {
play();
_y+= speed;
}

}
:cow: :cow: :cow: :cow:

code:

---

// anywhere in main timeline

var RAD2DEG = 180 / Math.PI;



// on the MC enterFrame:

var dx = _root._xmouse - this._x;

var dy = _root._ymouse - this._y;

var angle = Math.atan2(dy, dx);

this._rotation = (RAD2DEG * angle) + 90;

Here you go buddy, becasue I like your name and cheese also... :D
