Pick up a copy of "Foundation ActionScript Animation: Making Things Move!" by Keith Peters. Best $26.39 (at Amazon.com) you'll ever spend. The answer to your question (and a bunch more you never knew you had) is in that book.

Lets say I have a rectangle (height > width). I need to know the bottom middle point. That would be point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight). But I am having a hard time keeping track of this point after I rotate that clip. If I rotate the clip 40 degrees (clip._rotation = -40), where on the stage is that bottom middle point now? I have searched the forums, and came up with alot of finding the angles, but all seem to assume I know 2 points. Closest I've gotten is using: x=ClipWidth / 2 + Math.cos(angle) y=ClipWidth / 2 - Math.sin(angle) Sorry, I'm soooo rusty with math and hoping someone can push me in the right direction. Right now I'm trying to figure out the radius of the 'circle' that is formed while rotating, but that isn't going anywhere (fast anway).
