I think this is what you need. --- angle = Math.atan2( endY - startY, endX - startX ); trainX = vectorLength * Math.cos( angle ); trainY = vectorLength * Math.sin( angle ); --- Notes: 1. I'm using atan2(), not atan(). 2. The function atan2() takes (endY - startY) as its fi

I'm pretty sure there is no reflection-type functionality in AS3 to return a method name. Maybe you can define a bunch of string constants (perhaps even as static members in a class you create for this purpose, to hold them in one place) and use them as parms to addCallback(). Then you would stil

Let's call the position of the mouse click on the stage (clickedX, clickedY) The starting coordinates are (startX, startY) The ending coordinates are (endX , endY) The general equation of your line, for any variables X and Y, is: Y == (X - startX) * (endY - startY) / (endX - startX) So when the u

Can you please describe the problem in terms of something in Flash or ActionScript (like variables, symbols, classes, functions) not working as you thought it should. Or at least which specific part of that code you posted, doesn't work as expected. A On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 9:36 PM, Rajiv Seth
