Using vanilla mathematics:
var from:Point = new Point(100, 50);
var to:Point = new Point(80, 95);
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(to.y - from.y, to.x - from.x);
Using a new vector representing the difference between the first two:
var difference:Point = to.subtract(from);
var angle:Number ...
Using vanilla mathematics:
var from:Point = new Point(300, 10);
var to:Point = new Point(75, 40);
var a:Number = to.x - from.x;
var b:Number = to.y - from.y;
var distance:Number = Math.sqrt(a * a + b * b);
Using inbuilt functionality of Point:
var distance:Number = to.subtract(from).len...
A whole circle is 360 degrees or Math.PI * 2 radians.
Half of those values follows to be 180 degrees or Math.PI radians.
A quarter is then 90 degrees or Math.PI / 2 radians.
To get a segment as a percentage of a whole circle in radians:
function getSegment(percent:Number):Number {
retur...
Assuming you have the angle you'd like to move in and an object with x and y values you want to move:
var position:Point = new Point(10, 10);
var angle:Number = 1.25;
You can move along the x axis with Math.cos:
position.x += Math.cos(angle);
And the y axis with Math.sin:
position.y += Mat...
You can test whether a point is inside a rectangle using Rectangle.containsPoint():
var point:Point = new Point(5, 5);
var rectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 10, 10);
var contains:Boolean = rectangle.containsPoint(point); // true
