// pass references to your movieclips using vectorInputN
// NOTE: the angle returned depends on relationship of vectorInputs!
function solveAngle( vectorInput1:Object,
vectorInput2:Object,
convertToDegrees:Boolean):Number {
var nOutput:Number = null;
var opp:Number = -(vectorInput2._y - vectorInput1._y);
var adj:Number = vectorInput2._x - vectorInput1._x;
nOutput = (convertToDegrees) ?
Math.atan2(opp, adj) * (180 / Math.PI) :
Math.atan2(opp, adj);
return nOutput;
