problem with new anchorPoint

I like the new normalized method of setting the anchor point, but I have a problem... I think you should be able to go outside of the normalized bounds. For example, If I have a sprite 32x32 and I want to rotate it by a point outside of it's bounds (so it rotates about the center of a larger circle, for example), this is now impossible (unless I'm missing something). Before, I could set the tranformAnchor to (32/16, -100), but I can't seem to do something like setting the anchorPoint to (0.5, -2.0). :(

Appreciate any help! Thanks. :)

I'm also curious how to accomplish this with the new anchorPoint. It's very useful to be able to anchor a Sprite around an arbitrary point. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is probably the worst solution ever, but you could make the image larger (with transparent space around it), and put the pivot in there.

yes, you can do it:
sprite.anchorPoint = ccp(-24,341);

(-24,341) means:
set the anchor point to -24 * width, 341 * height.
