?

er... I mean, when I do Math.cos(ANGLE)  It returns some seemingly random number, that isnt the Cosine of the angle

Ah, that makes sense now.

Yes in Flash you don't give Math.cos an angle you need to give it radians.
Define a variable (or a global variable depending on exactly what you are
doing).

toRadians=Math.PI/180

Then you can use

myCos=Math.cos(angle*toRadians);

I meant to say you don't give it an angle in degrees.

thanks a lot =P
