Please help me with maths problem

Hi,

Im making a flash game at the mo & am having maths difficulty.

When i press the space button I attach a movie clip of a bullet on stage

The bullet starts moving in the direction of the the last mouse position.

I'm trying to figure out a way to remove the clip after it has moved a distance of 100 pixels

The problem is that the bullet can move in positive and negatived directions. I dont know how to test for this.
Can any body help?

in your loop that moves your bullet you can repeatedly check the distance the bullet moves and remove it by using distanceF(yourBullet):
