[hmvince]

i know this is simple but i just need the simplest code to find the angle between 2 points in flash 8.
thankyou all.

Hi hmvince,

I've found a tutorial from Jim Bumgardner:

thankyou WPRS
i was also wondering in what direction is 0, 90, 180, and 270 in flash because i know that it is different to other programs but still unsure.
thanks again

You are welcome

[hmvince]

did you know about the angles?

[WPRS]

function GetAngles (Direction1)
{
    var Direction2:Number = Direction1 % 360;
    
    if ( Direction2 <= 180 )
    {
        return ( Direction2 );
    }
    else
    {
        return ( -( Direction2 - 180 ) );
    }
}

trace (GetAngles (0));
trace (GetAngles (90));
trace (GetAngles (180));
trace (GetAngles (270));

this is not really what i meant.
is 270 degrees to the right?
is 90 degrees to the left?
is 0 degrees to the up?
is 180 degrees to the down?
excuse my english

var radians = degrees * Math.PI / 180
var degrees = radians * 180 / Math.PI

this isnt in flash though is it. because i heard once that the angles in flash are different, like rotated clockwise or something?
