Object rotation over a point maintaining relative position

Dear all,

I'd like to make copies of an object run around another object, preserving their relative positions, but I'm having trouble doing that. In the example I send, I have copies of a green object in a certain disposition (in a cross); however, when I put the copies to rotate around the black object, they rotate together (and not in cross, as I would like).

Here is the capx: dropbox.com/s/0f3yhtmq8sdef ... .capx?dl=0

Can anyone help me?

Use a pin behavior onto your center object, and rotate the center object. You can use an invisible helper sprite as the center object if you want.

Here is how you do it with math:

(I added two instance variables to the sprite - "a" and "d")

Thanks a lot, oosyrag and dop2000

Both solutions work like a charm!!!
