Can I change the point of rotation on a sprite without affecting its position?

[LandonSchropp]

I would like to change the point a sprite rotates around to the center of the sprite. I realize I can do this by calling sprite.anchor.set(0.5), but that also effectively changes the position of the sprite. Is there a way to change the rotation point of the sprite without affecting its position? I found the pivot property, but it also seems to have the same problem.

Not sure if that's what you a re looking for, but if I want to change the anchor and keep position the same, I do something like this:

sprite.anchor.set(0.5,0.5);
sprite.x += sprite.width*0.5;
sprite.y += sprite.height*0.5;

You are moving the sprite's position the amount of space it needs to stay in the exact same place, but with the new anchor.

Thanks for the reply @end3r! Your solution looks like the best way to accomplish this, but it's a bit of a bummer that I can't change the rotation point independent of the sprite's location. Still, I appreciate the help.
