// This object will always look at the mouse cursor
myTank.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tankEnterFrame);
// This function will be launched every frame (25 times by seconds);
function tankEnterFrame(pEvt) {
// pEvt.currentTarget : myTank
var mc = pEvt.currentTarget;
// Get the radian angle between the tank and the cursor
// You can also replace mouseX and mouseY by another coordinates
var angleRadian=Math.atan2(mouseY-mc.y,mouseX-mc.x);
// Convert the radian angle in dedree
var angleDegree = angleRadian * 180 / Math.PI;
// Set the orientation
mc.rotation = angleDegree;
// Display angle of rotation in degree
txtAngle.text = Math.round(angleDegree) + "°";
}
