Hey, I don’t have a very good understanding of trig, so if you guys could help me that would be great. I basically need to rotate a movieclip based on the slope of a line. The program is such a slope is generated for the movieclip to move along, but I need to know how you find the angle using slope so I can make my movieclip “face” whatever direction it is moving in.
