rotation problem

[helpmeplz]

as you can see i want my character to face the direction hes moving:

	if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
			h._rotation = 90;
			h._y -= speed;
		}
		if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
			h._rotation = 270;
			h._y += speed;
		}
		if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
			h._rotation = 0;
			h._x -= speed;
		}
		if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
			h._rotation = 180;
			h._x += speed;
		}

but what would be the best method for ajusting the rotation to say 45 degrees when my character moves up and left at the same time?

if ((Key.isDown(Key.UP)) and (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))) ) {

     h._rotation = 45;
     h._y -= speed;
}

if ((Key.isDown(Key.UP)) and (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))) ) {

     h._rotation = 45;
     h._y -= speed;
}

ugh. i was hoping i wouldnt have to do that. o well

hmm it didnt work for me. maybe cuz im using flash 6?

here is the code:
rot_rad = _root.h._rotation * 3.141593 / 180;
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_root.h._y += _global.speed*Math.cos(rot_rad);
_root.h._x -= _global.speed*Math.sin(rot_rad);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
_root.h._y -= _global.speed*Math.cos(rot_rad);
_root.h._x += _global.speed*Math.sin(rot_rad);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_root.h._rotation -= _global.rot_speed
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.h._rotation += _global.rot_speed
}

}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.h._rotation += _global.rot_speed
}

thanks
