Bow and arrow... Need some code help...

[eyer24]

Hello flash programmers!

As most of you probably don't know, I have started making a bow-man type of game..... There's just one problem: The code

Here is what I have so far:

bow.onEnterFrame = function() {
angle = (180*Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x))/Math.PI+0;
this._rotation = angle;

};


_root.onMouseDown = function() {

Arrow_Create();
}
//add gravity with the code below:
//arrow.dy += 1;



function Arrow_Create() {
var Arrow_speed = 30;

arrow._rotation = bow._rotation;

radians = Math.PI*(bow._rotation/180);

arrow._x = arrow._x - Math.cos(radians)*Arrow_speed;
arrow._y = arrow._y - Math.sin(radians)*Arrow_speed;
}

The major problem is having the arrow's angle be final when I click the mouse, and to shoot out correctly at that angle, and not be still rotating based off the bow's rotation.

So, if anyone could help me out with this, then that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

erm.... those posts dont help me at all either....

@Areslee: Cant you just post the file here (or better yet the code xD).

this is the code in "arrow" mc:
onClipEvent (load) {
if (this._name != "arrows") {
var arg = this._rotation*Math.PI/180;
var vx = Math.cos(arg)*20;
var vy = Math.sin(arg)*20;
var shoot = true;
var ground = _root.bow._y+50;
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._name != "arrows") {
if (shoot) {
vy += 0.5;
this._rotation = Math.atan2(vy, vx)*180/Math.PI;
this._x += vx;
this._y += vy;
if (this._y>=ground) {
shoot = false;
}
} else {
this._alpha -= 1;
if (this._alpha == 0) {
removeMovieClip(this);
}
}
}
}

this is the code in "bow" mc:

onClipEvent (load) {
    var dx = 0;
    var dy = 0;
    var arg = 0;
    var gapcount = 60;
    var gap = false;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    dx = _root._xmouse-this._x;
    dy = _root._ymouse-this._y;
    arg = Math.atan2(dy, dx)*180/Math.PI;
    this._rotation = arg;
    if (Key.isDown(65)) {
        if (this._x>_root.lw._x+25) {
            this._x -= 5;
        }
    }
    if (Key.isDown(68)) {
        if (this._x<_root.rw._x-20) {
            this._x += 5;
        }
    }
    if (Key.isDown(83)) {
        if (this._y<Stage.height-20) {
            this._y += 5;
        }
    }
    if (Key.isDown(87)) {
        if (this._y>20) {
            this._y -= 5;
        }
    }
}
