The problem i’m facing at the moment is i need to make a record spin. I’ve imported the image, but when i tween the rotation, the center point is left middle, so it rotates around a circle rather than spinning.

I know in Flash 4, it was childs play to move the center point of an object, but i cant find that option in flash 8.  
I know it must be something super simple, but i just cant see it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks
