Hi everybody,

I have a mc that I need to be rotating on itself every other frame, so I did something like this on the MC :

[AS]  
onClipEvent(enterFrame)  
{  
this.\_rotation += 8;  
}  
[/AS]

The thing is that it rotates aroung its upper left corner. So how do I specify that I want it to rotate from the middle of the MC ?

Once again, thanks in advance
