Okay this thing may be the coolest thing I've seen in a while. However it's acting funny. If I do this:
var coord:Point = Point.polar( _radius, angle ); It works great. But I am after a point further out than _radius. So naturally I pad it a little... var coord:Point = Point.polar( _radius + 10, angle ); and now coord.x and coord.y seems to be rotated AND being determined further out. Since I'm not altering angle, what's going on here? On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Eric E.
