Flex/ActionScript - rotate Sprite around its center

Question

I have created a Sprite in Actionscript and rendered it to a Flex Canvas. Suppose:

var fooShape:Sprite = new FooSpriteSubclass();

fooCanvas.rawChildren.addChild         


        

Answer 1

Actually I had to add this code to make above solutions work for me.

private var _rotateCount = 0;
var _origginalMatrix:Matrix=new Matrix();
.........
if (_rotateCount++ >= 360 / angleDegrees)
{
    myObject.transform.matrix = _origginalMatrix;
    _rotateCount = 0;
            return;
}

var matrix:Matrix = myObject.transform.matrix;
.... 

Without that after some long time rotated object slowly moves somewhere right top.
