@pheck: You can create an instance of Timer and call drawPieMask in your event handler.

Is there any way I can put a timer on the drawPieMask Function so it creates the pie according to some duration specified on the function?

Thank you! This saved me a lot of time.

Later today I just took this brilliant algorithm and coded a class out of it:

Oops, thanks for spotting that, I zipped the wrong file.
I uploaded the right one, you might have to clear your cache to get the new one.

Thanks. The .fla isn’t in the zip file, only the swf.

Thanks Nizzle,
in this case I knew most of the math beforehand (I like trigonometry) except for the line where I increase the length of the radius, but for that I had to check my trigonometry cheat sheet =)
I also don’t just code it directly, I scribble it down on some post-it notes first to get the formulas out of my head.
I hope the function came to good use for you.
