Yes, this will work:

If (x < 0)

      Set Variable: "x" = x*-1

End If

Branden has a square root library.

For Trig functions use:

http://www.FlashBible.com/Members/ActionScript/PlugNPlay/Trig.htm


To keep thr Plugin/ActiveX control size down only a few more essential

functions are built in. Many others can be created fairlly easily as we

have done with our Plug and Play routines such as Trig, String functions

and Time Delay functions. As time goes on we will have more libraries

and Plug and Play routines ....
