Its time for us to take the complex math we thought had no point from high school and turn it into an animation. actually cos/sin are so useful as we can use them any time we need to track movement such as when you create a googly eye that follows the mouse (that is done using cos-sin) in this example we will use them to create a moon for our globe.

Learn how to rotate an object with as3 and trigonometric functions. To illustrate that we are going to build the rotation of the moon around the earth.
