While rotating, I want to place another MC's x,y (each frame) on that

Give something like this a shot. Note that this is completely
untested because I wrote it right here ... this is the general idea
though.
var m:Matrix = mainMC.transform.matrix;
var pt:Point = new Point( mainMC.theChild.x, mainMC.theChild.y);
var position:Point = m.transformPoint(pt);
// You might need to add in the tx,ty offsets
var matchMoveClipX:Number = position.x + m.tx;
var matchMoveClipY:Number = position.y + m.ty;
That assumes, of course, that you're applying your transformations
using matrices.
If you use dot notation on the properties (rotate, scale, x y), I'm
not 100% certain that those properties are updated in the
transformation matrix of the object.
good luck.
