How about a real answer?

There's a new plugin for TweenLite/Max that'll cause transformation
(rotation/scale) tweens to occur around any point, so it'll be as easy as:
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundPoint:{point:new Point(100, 100),
rotation:85}});
Or if you want to use the center of the object as its origin, you could
simply do:
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundCenter:{rotation:80}});
It works for the scale too, like:
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundCenter:{scaleX:1.5, scaleY:2,
rotation:-70}});
NOTE: The plugin is a membership benefit of Club GreenSock.
You can see an interactive demo at http://blog.greensock.com/sneak-peek/
(scroll all the way down in the list of plugins - they're at the bottom -
click "example"). For those of you who are wondering "what's this 'plugin'
talk with TweenLite - I didn't know there were any plugins!", it's a new
feature that's part of a big update I'm rolling out soon. It adds lots of
flexibility. Read more at the site.

PS There's also TransformMatrixProxy which has been around for a while and
it'll do something similar and also let you skew things.
http://blog.greensock.com/transformmatrixproxy/ It's not quite as convenient
as a plugin for TweenLite/Max, though.

Subject: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
How do you change the origin of rotation dynamically? can it be done?
or will it always be 0,0
I was hoping that with the new features of as3 that this I would be able
to indicate where I wanted the origin; yet, I am starting to think that
I was hoping for too much.
