Animated Rising Sun

Here is a small and simple class I wrote this morning to create an animated rising sun. You can configure the number of segments and the size very easily.

package 
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    
    public class RisingSun extends Sprite 
    {
        private var _segments    :Number = 40;
        private var _rad        :Number = 730;
        
        public function RisingSun()
        {
            super();
            
            x = 364;
            y = 45;
            
            graphics.clear();
            graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 0.8);
            graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, _rad);
            graphics.endFill();
            
            var _angle:Number = Math.PI / _segments;
            var a:Number = _angle;
            
            for (var i:Number = 0; i < _segments; i++)
            {
                var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
                s.graphics.clear();
                s.graphics.beginFill(0xCC0000, 0.5);
                s.graphics.lineTo(Math.cos(a)*_rad, Math.sin(a)*_rad);
                a += _angle;
                s.graphics.lineTo(Math.cos(a)*_rad, Math.sin(a)*_rad);
                s.graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
                s.graphics.endFill();
                a += _angle;
                addChild(s);
            }
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _frame);
        }
        
        private function _frame(e:Event):void
        {
            rotation += 0.5;
        }
    }
}
