animating rotation by changing pivot points

im trying to animate something in animate. basically i want it to be like this

i tried rotating it by changing the pivot points but somehow it wont work, the results ended up being the square rotated from the original pivot point or where ever i put the pivot point last. are there any workarounds for this?

Hi.

One way of achieving this is firstly placing the Transformation Point at the bottom left corner. Then, when the box is already resting on the ground, you create another keyframe and place the Transformation Point at the bottom right corner.

Here is a sample:

It works with tweens too. I just converted mine to frame-by-frame animation.

The important thing is that you keep the beginning and end of the same tween with the the Transformation Point at the same position.
