Hi everyone. First thing, you'll only be able to reply to this topic if you have a good understanding of Actionscript for flash. Its sort of a question. What I'm trying to do is creating "the perfect sine wave" using an algorirthm to recaclulate position for the points on a sine wave. The thing I've got set up at the moment is a couple of dots, one i can move with the right cursor key, which then gives vlaues of y for a duplictaed movie clip. Like this.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += 10;
x = x + 1
_root.dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+x, x);
_root["dot"+x]._x = this._x;
_root["dot"+x]._y = Math.sin(45^x)*50+(200-this._height);
}
}
At the moment all it does it create this sort of being weird set of dots, which is getting quite frustating. Any help anyone can other would be appreachiated. :biggrin:

I know nothing about flash coding, but that sin(45^x) term looks really dodgy if x is larger than order 1 or so..! Do you mean sin(45*x) ?
