can someone please give me a simple as code to have an mc (man) rotate to where the mouse is and when (MouseDown) occurs make a bullet mc (ball) fire in the direction that the man is facing because every code i make will not fire in the direction, it goes off at weird angles im not quite sure how to calculate the direction for it to move fowards

any help is apreciated

thanks

A simple way is

```auto
bulletSpeed = 3;
man.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._rotation = Math.atan2(this._y-_ymouse, this._x-_xmouse)/180*Math.PI-180;
}
onMouseDown = function(){
bulletMC.duplicateMovieClip("bullet"+i++, i, {_rotation:man._rotation, onEnterFrame:function(){
this._x+=Math.sin(this._rotation/180*Math.PI)*bulletSpeed;
this._y-=Math.sin(this._rotation/180*Math.PI)*bulletSpeed;
}});
} 

```

May need a little tweaking, but Maths isn’t my forte, if it’s not right, let me know 😛

ive changed the code but it still isnt working can anyone correct me on

```auto

bs = 3;
Key.SPACE.onKeyDown = function() {
 bullety.duplicateMovieClip("bullet"+i++, i, {onEnterFrame:function () {
  this._x = _root.man._x;
  this._y = _root.man._y;
  this._x += Math.sin(this._rotation/180*Math.PI)*bs;
  this._y -= Math.sin(this._rotation/180*Math.PI)*bs;
 }});
};

```
