Have you tried “Math.atan2″ method to detect angle between the points?

This returns in radians but you can multiply by “180 / Math.PI” for degree rotation.

function angleOfPoints(a:Point, b:Point):Number

{

var dx:Number = a.x-b.x;

var dy:Number = a.y-b.y;

var rad:Number = Math.atan2(dy, dx);

return rad;

}
