Finding the angle

Easy question for the experts, I am sure: What is the easiest way of finding the angle in which an actor is moving, relative to the scene? i.e. if the actor is moving horizontally, the angle would be 0 and if vertically it would be 90.

    vectorToAngle( self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X , self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y )%360

    Thanks @Socks ... what is the "%360" for?

    Oh, I just chucked that on the end to force the angles to be 0-360° rather than GameSalad's default 0-180° and then -180° to 0 (which I find a bit weird).
