Hey

I have been googling my butt off I can not find anything about AS3 and shooting in different directions.

I just need to shoot in the direction my char is facing.

I have this so far which work flawlessly 😉

function Shoot(event:MouseEvent):void {

```
	trace("shoot");

```

}

oh also I can get the direction my hero is facing using

trace “character\_mc.rotation”
