Hi guys.

Firstly let me say love this site and love this forum. Plenty of Flash problems have been sorted thanks to all the people on this site.

I have a quick question (Well might night be quick).

What I am trying to do is work out a formula based on a ball being launched at an angle and then having its direction affected by wind.

I will have the following variables. Speed (The speed will be a random scale that when you click the mouse button it will stop at a speed and launch at that speed). Wind (Will be randomly generated) and Distance.

At the end of the day any help would be appreciated, or a simple FLA file, or maybe web link. I have trawlled for formulas all over the web, but no joy.

I have probably been a bit vauge.

Well cheers guys.
