I took a look at the demo and I instantly knew what he was doing,
because the origin marker kept moving... easy enough to correct.
I figured out something similar too by changing the x and y rotation
values to match the point on the outer circles locus, based on the
amount of steps wanted, although useful, is still not good enough for me.

Oh yeah this definitely works. I was having trouble because I needed to
delete ASO files(thought things had changed in the fp10 upgrade and I was
going nuts until I figured it out); yet, I am still looking for a better
way.
I am looking into the matrix transformer class right now.

That shouldn't be the case.
You will have to offset the original mc's x and y by half the width
and height of the original; but the rotation of the wrapping mc should
always take place around that mc's origin.
e.g.
var wrapper:Sprite=new Sprite();
wrapper.addChild(original);
original.x=-original.width/2;
original.y=-original.height/2;
addChild(wrapper);
wrapper.rotation=45;
... or whatever.
If you're really getting erroneous results from that sort of setup,
I'd love to see the source code.

I have actually tried that yet, it seems that when I move the mc in the
wrapper, the origin of the wrapper changes to be that of mc upper left
most
point.

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.
