I have this code to add my missile to the screen
Actionscript Code:
// SHOOTING
function Shoot(event:MouseEvent)
{
             
            var newMissile:Missile = new Missile();
            // set direction
            newMissile.dx = Math.cos(Math.PI*character_mc.rotation/180);
            newMissile.dy = Math.sin(Math.PI*character_mc.rotation/180);
             
            // placement
            newMissile.x = character_mc.x;
            newMissile.y = character_mc.y;
     
            // add to stage and array
            addChild(newMissile);
            missiles.push(newMissile);
         
         
}
it adds right where my character is but I cant seem to figure out how to get the missile to actual move in the direction the character is facing.

heres how it looks
