FLASH: rotate a mc around an endpoint

[Helen Triolo]

Is there a way to rotate a movieclip around one of its endpoints instead

of the middle using the _rotation property?  If I do

Modify/Transform/Edit Center on the mc in Flash and move the little plus

sign to an endpoint, then a Modify/Transform/Scale_and_Rotate makes it

rotate on the endpoint, but it still rotates around the midpoint when I

use the set property(_rotation) command and Test Movie.


If there's no way to rotate a mc on an endpoint, then what's the best

way to add an equivalent amount of empty space on one side of the mc

(like doing a canvas size adjustment in Photoshop to double the width of

something, leaving half of the new canvas blank), so that the old

endpoint is now the center?  Does this make sense to anyone out there,

or is this just a ridiculous thing to be trying to do at 10:30pm on a

Saturday...?


tia,

Helen
