I cant seem to find any information on this.

I am making a ‘simple’ template builder in flash which allows the user to add/remove text boxes and images to the stage.  
I can rotate any of the movieClips fine but it rotates from the top left and i want it to rotate from midpoint. Is there a way to set the midpoint/rotation point using actionscript?

Thanks for your help.
