Is there a way to increase the movement ''steps'' of a sin?
In my current movement the sin object moves at stages via seconds.
So every second a sphere moves 1 part out of 360 in orbit around an active.
Its not a smooth transition as it skips per second.
What i need is to maintain the speed of 1 second but the movement of milliseconds.
My thought is that if there is a way to devide the current ''360 parts'' of the sin in to more parts ''in between''.
Then i could set my orbitting object to move via milliseconds but maintaining the speed of seconds.
When i set it to milliseconds now, the speed just amplifies because the orbit only know 360 steps.
I just found the easing object.
Anyone know how to set its parameters so i can have this extension control the speed of my sin object?
I allready found out that it does allow slow millisecond moving
I got the answer from the creator of the easing object through mail.
I did not use floating point values wich i should have, but better is to read it for yourself.

It sounds like you are having some rounding issues with your math. Make sure MMF always operates with floating point values.
For example always set the position of "pluto" to:
x: cos( timer/10.0 )*radius + centerX
y: sin( timer/10.0 )*radius + centerY
If you divide the timer value with an integer (without the '.0' part) it ends up rounding to the nearest integer of the timer value making it appear that it snaps to individual 360 degrees.
For MMF to use floating point math by adding the '.0' part to your number and it should be smooth.
