Hi Roman,

Here's a movie that will show you how the sin() and cos() functions work.

2D Director deals in radians, not degrees.  You can find an explanation of
radians by selecting the Radians item.  The Sine and Cosine section show you
how angles can be converted into x and y coordinates.

Cheers,

James
