you can rotate an object around any arbitrary point using matrix
transformations.
public static function rotateAroundInternalPoint(m:Matrix, x:Number,
y:Number, angleDegrees:Number):void
{
var point:Point = new Point(x, y);
point = m.transformPoint(point);
m.tx -= point.x;
m.ty -= point.y;
m.rotate(angleDegrees*(Math.PI/180));
m.tx += point.x;
m.ty += point.y;
}
you can then apply the matrix on the component transform.
