[F8] Rotation and recalculation of x and y

Hi,

Well I finally figured out why I shouldn't have skipped certain classes in school...

I have a circle with a point on it (marked with a red cross). The point is at x -60 and y 0 accodring to the circle's center. When I rotate the circle 90 degrees the x should be 0 and the y should be 90. But how can I calculate those values? I've been trying to work this out a bit but my math/algebra/triginomitry/whatever skills are non existend....

Can anyone look at my fla please and help me out on this subject?

Cheers

Your code is correct, but you are using degrees instead of radians when you get the circle's rotation.

Change this line

PHP Code:

---

rotat = circ._rotation; 


---

to this

PHP Code:

---

rotat = circ._rotation * Math.PI / 180; 


---

Thanx so much yasunobu!!! Thought I was close but far off at the same time :)
