FLASH: Flash 5 Trig output?s {Branden/Matt}

[Jefferis Peterson]

This is a repost, cause in the midst of FF2k, and all the email on this

list, I think it got lost:


>The trig functions that are included are all of your basic trig funcions,

>including inverse trig and *YEAH* arctan.

>

>- -= Branden J. Hall


Okay... Matt gave the example of dynamic drawing of a line between two

points [I understood that one], but I need more concrete items so I know

what you are telling me above:


Say for example, the famous rotating balls that get larger as they

approach you and smaller as they recede as they circle a fixed point.  As

I looked at the code for things like that, I was hopelessly lost. Not

only do I need to have the basic trig functions, I need to know how to

apply them and what they do.  


What are these functions your telling me about above? 


What I'm trying to figure out is if I need to get a book on the basic

math functions and examples to use the old and new features in Flash 5...


and/or... will the new manual cover that?



Thanks

Jeff
