Using the trig functions and the drawing api I m trying to create rectangle rotaing around its own axis(around z axis).  
What I m trying to do is to attach a movie clip on the rotating rectangle and to automaticly apply rotating transformation on the child MovieClip.  
The skewing and the scaling i like to be applied on the child movie.  
Is this posible?
