Roate a sprite NOT on midpoint but instead on end

Hello,
Thanks for the forum. I couldn't figure out how to best word this, but I am trying my hand at making a simple clock.

I can get everything to work except that clock hands rotate around their midpoint, as opposed to their ends.

The effect is that my hands will rotate in the center of themselves.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,
Lee

The way to do this is to edit the sprite, and click set costume center.  Move the target to the end of the hand, and click OK.  It should now rotate around the end of the hand.

there should be a block like
[set rotation point to X: ( 0 ) Y: ( 0 )]...
that would be good
