Setting the rotation point

i’m working on a flash game at the moment, and i would like to know if i am able to set the point that the movieclip rotates around using actionscript.

i don’t want to do it by simply moving all of the contents of the movieclip closer or nearer. is there any other way of doing it? i couldn’t find any simple functions for it. am i just going to have to use some complicated maths?

thanks in advance :thumb:
