Sin, Cos, Tan Flash AS3 Help!

[TheAS3Guru]

I am working on a platformer and I don't want to release the whole .fla file because I have lots of classes and such.

I have ran into a problem where I have the length of the tan and the angle needed. I want this bullet to be placed a good 50 pixels away from the player in the angle of where the mouse is located.

I have the the rotation of the gun working smoothly in my game ( you can find my game here: http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1277010772 ) but when I add a bullet to the position using rise over run it doesn't go there.

Here is the code I use for my class:

var distanceX:Number = mouseX - (ourPlayerBody.GetWorldCenter().x * ThePlatformer.pixelize);
            var distanceY:Number = (mouseY - (ourPlayerBody.GetWorldCenter().y - (ourPlayerBody.GetLocalCenter().y / 2)) * ThePlatformer.pixelize) * -1;
            
            var angleInRadians:Number = Math.atan2(distanceY, distanceX);
            var angleInDegrees:Number = angleInRadians * 180 / Math.PI;
            
            // Hypotenuse, angleInDegrees is our angle
            
            var sineOfAngleInRadians:Number = angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180;
            sineOfAngleInRadians = Math.sin(sineOfAngleInRadians);
            var sineOfAngleInDegrees:Number = sineOfAngleInRadians * 180 / Math.PI;
            var sineLength:Number = ThePlatformer.bulletDistance * sineOfAngleInDegrees;
            
            var cosineOfAngleInRadians:Number = angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180;
            cosineOfAngleInRadians = Math.cos(cosineOfAngleInRadians);
            var cosineOfAngleInDegrees:Number = cosineOfAngleInRadians * 180 / Math.PI;
            var cosineLength:Number = ThePlatformer.bulletDistance * cosineOfAngleInDegrees;
            
            var whereToMove:Point = new Point(sineLength, cosineLength * -1);
            var whereToMoveMeters:b2Vec2 = new b2Vec2(whereToMove.x / ThePlatformer.pixelize, whereToMove.y / ThePlatformer.pixelize);
            bulletBody.SetPositionAndAngle(whereToMoveMeters, angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180);

Local center is half the objects width and height in meters. Global center is the location of where the center of the object is in world's position.

The method I used to try and solve for the position of the bullet I did is shown in the image attachment
