I am making a first person shooter (technically a third person shooter lol) and I need some help with the rotation.

[http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spaceshiplargefaces8ez.swf](http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spaceshiplargefaces8ez.swf)  
or open the swf file attached.

- Use the left and right arrow keys to rotate the ship

Anyays, I want my game to have a view from an angle looking downwards, but the ship is always rotating around the y axis, but I want it to rotate around its origin.

Does anyone have any tip as how I could do this?

Thanks,  
Flashthinker. lol

P.S. The code is in the text file attached
