if you are trying to find the midpoint of the bottom, you could use
the midpoint formula instead of using the rotation.. would be faster..

Hi, having some math problems... hoping someone can help....
Lets say I have a rectangle (height > width). I need to know the
bottom middle point. That would be point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight).
But I am having a hard time keeping track of this point after I
rotate that clip. If I rotate the clip 40 degrees (clip._rotation =
-40), where on the stage is that bottom middle point now?
I have searched the forums, and came up with alot of finding the
angles, but all seem to assume I know 2 points.
Closest I've gotten is using:
x=ClipWidth / 2 + Math.cos(angle)
y=ClipWidth / 2 - Math.sin(angle)
Sorry, I'm soooo rusty with math and hoping someone can push me in
the right direction. Right now I'm trying to figure out the radius
of the 'circle' that is formed while rotating, but that isn't going
anywhere (fast anway).
Thanks for any tips,
Jason
