I know the start x, end x, start y, end y, c length for the line and i know how far along c the point should be (call it vector length) but i'm a little stumped as to where to go from there the psuedo code for what i've been trying is vector x = start x / end x vector y = start y / end y train x = (vector x * vector length) + start x train y = (vector x * vector length) + start y I think i have my maths very wrong here - hope you guys can help a _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
