I have a movieclip moving across the stage.
It basically simulates an aircraft movement in a drop down view.
Ok… anyway skipping a load of the fuss.
I have an “xspeed” variable and that is set with: Math.cos(radians)*(vel/10000);
The “vel” variable is (in this instance 150), I use a 3 digit number to reference the realistic knots speed of an aircraft, then divide it by 10,000 to get a number that is less so I can use that to animate the movie clip, rather than moving 150px a frame for instance… 0.015
I use x+=xspeed to move the movieclip along the x axis.
anywho, the issue im having is that if the xspeed is ever greater than 0 the movieclip wont move at all, however if it is less that 0 it moves to the left. Also if I divide vel by 1000 instead. It moves fine in all directions fine, however FAR too fast. any idea why the value of x will be changed when its -0.015 and not 0.015???
