rotation of display objects

What would be the best way to rotate a display object around a circumference of a circle. I have tried changing the reference point and then rotating it, but I could not get it to work. Any ideas would be very helpful.

why not add a physics joint from the object to the circle? [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 6109 reply_id: 21050[/import]

Well, iam new to corona.
I tried to move some dots around a point in the middle of the screen and done this with sin and cos :slight_smile:

for rotate arround a point, use
x = (math.cos(angle) * length)+(posOnScreenX)
y = (math.sin(angle) * length)+(posOnScreenY)

posOnScreenX/Y is the point you wanna rotate arround ^^
