I am having 3 movie Clips named point1_mc, point2_mc, point3_mc in the
stage. They are arranged in such a way to form a triangle...
Now how can i get those 3 angles and sides formed by these points.?
With a high school geometry textbook? ;-)
Law of cosines: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*Cos(q)
Thank u... :-P

Hi,
first off: thanks charles, johan and ted for your input on this, it is very
much appreciated.

probably go down the actionscript-only-project line (so not using the flex
framework), but i'd still need a lot of assets

Hi,
yeah well, im sure the display list things arent too hard, in my own AS2
projects I developed Control like classes which work like:
var tab = new TabPane (_root);
tab.addChild (new Tab());
etc (well to be honest the main control would listen to a TabModel and
create tabs itself

I'm afraid your solution wasn't really addressing my problem - although

Is your text exported from Word? Has word converted three dots into a 'three

embed the ellipsis character or replace it with three separate dots.

One way is to use unicode, which has chars for all the superscript
