FLASH: doing trigs the easiest way ;)

[bby]

Hello Flashers round the world,


I�ve just encountered a very easy way to get sine and cosine in FLASH.

for getting:

y = sine (x)


first we need an (invisible) horizontal (angle = 0�) hairline with a 

length of 100 pixel, make it a movie clip wit instance-name = line.


then:

Set Property ("/line", Rotation) = x


and in the third step:

Set Variable: "y" = (GetProperty ( "/line", _width )) /100

well heres your sine


and for cosine you have to: GetProperty ( "/line", _height )


thank god, i thought for myself befor i read what other flashers had 

to contribute :(

just scanned `bout 80 Megs of stored flasher-digests (lurking since 08/99)


happy flashing,

Roland
