How do I change a rotation point mid tween?

I am very new to Animate so don't know the full terminology for what I'm asking for yet, so sorry if this sounds confusing.

I have a simple rectangle. I have applied a motion tween and within that I have then moved the rectangle around and also spun it on the pivot point which is currently in the middle of the rectangle. This is what I want it to do.

I then want to move the rectangle some more and rotate it again, this time around one of the corners instead.

However, whenever I move the rotation point (the white circle) to the corner I now want to pivot around, it also changes my previous rotation. I don't want to change the previous one, only the new one.

Does anyone have any idea how I overcome this?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi.

    This is the way motion tweens work, I guess.

    If you want to change the Transformation Point you're gonna have to either start the motion in another layer or use a classic tween instead.

    But maybe someone else you'll give you a better idea.
