I'm not a genius in geometry, I'd like to find a point in as3
with the radius
and a angle
but I don't remember the rule, I know this should be simple!
Here's an example:

as3.x = centerX + radius * cos(angle)
as3.y = centerY + radius * sin(angle)
Note that the rotation in the picture linked to is in the "negative direction". I.e, an increase of the angle, yields a counter-clockwise rotation.
Let x0, y0 be the center of the circle being considered and t be the angle theta anti-clockwise from the x-axis (right horizontal).
The point you are looking for is then
x = x0 + r*cos(t)
y = y0 + r*sin(t)
You have to adjust your calculator to degree mode before making that calculation more likley you will use angle in degree
