I've a question on Actionscript, yet it is truly a mathematical question that may well be answered without any AS knowledge. I have a flash movie, Inside my movie I have an Arrow, My arrow follows the path of a sine wave[code]WAVE_HEIGHTMath.sin(n(Math.PI2)+WAVE_SPEED)[/code]My arrow always faces 'east', I want my arrow to rotate to the tangent of the curve. I currently have...[code]arrow._rotation = WAVE_HEIGHTMath.sin(n(Math.PI2))[/code]But really I just made that up. Does any brain here have the knowledge I seek to guide and educate?
