Hi TJ, if you need to deal more with geometric functions you might want to take a look at ArcadeEngine. It is packed with lots of functions one can use in Multimedia apps. The syntax to calculate the point you are searching with ArcadeEngine in use would be: put

Hi everyone, 1) If I have the points A and B, how would I determine point C that lies along the slope but is X units in length from the origin (which will always be point A) I can find the total distance between A and B or the midpoint using the distance and midpoint formulas, but I'm not

James, Thanks for your help. The code did not work for me as is. Namely point C was reflected negatively, so I fixed that by using -X, then I had to subtract Cx and Cy from A's location in order to offset C correctly. But after that it worked perfectly! Thanks again for your quick response.
