Hello all, Im using the Point class to convert polar co-ordinates to Cartesian co-ordinates (i.e. an angle & length to an x & y co-ordinate). The built in function Point.polar(len:Number, angle:Number) should do exactly this but I am getting some weird values returned.
This code takes the angles 0, 90, 180, 270 & 360 with a length of 10 for each and converts to an x & y. [[code snippet]] import flash.geom.Point; trace(Point.polar(10, (0 * (Math.PI/180)))); trace(Point.polar(10, (90 * (Math.PI/180)))); trace(Point.polar(10, (180 * (Math.PI/180)))); trace(Point.polar(10, (270 * (Math.PI/180)))); trace(Point.polar(10, (360 * (Math.PI/180)))); This is the output: (x=10, y=0) (x=6.12303176911189e-16, y=10) (x=-10, y=1.22460635382238e-15) (x=-1.83690953073357e-15, y=-10) (x=10, y=-2.44921270764475e-15) As you can see the first value is correct, the rest have weird values. Can anyone explain this to me?
