I’m not so hot with this type of math. I’m trying to duplicate and position a movieclip (not animate around circle just place) around the circumference of a circle. The part I’m having a hitch with is respecting the movieclip’s angle. I’m setting the movieclip’s registration point at the bottom center. Here’s an image to show what I’m going for.
