Has anyone had any luck rotating an obj around an origin other than the constant values (ie center anchor)? I'm trying to rotate an obj around an x/y coordinate (instead of an objects anchor point)...

transform myFrame in pasteboard coordinates from {4.25, 5.5} with matrix myMatrix

It doesn't error, but it just doesn't return predictable results. Almost like a math error or something. The non-matrix rotation method used in InDesign versions CS/CS2 worked perfectly...

rotate myFrame by 45 around {4.25, 8.5}

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
