In AS3 is there an easy way for collisions to take place between a moving circle and a rectangle object. A moving circle has a direction and you need to know how it collides with an object rather than knowing it just hits.

In .net you use a points test where you test several points around a circle to see what hits an object and then you can work out what direction it will bounce off.
