Rotate a moving actor

I thought this would be easy. I've applied the attached behaviours and the results aren't what I'd hoped. I'm wanting an actor to move across the screen, rotating (On it's centre axis) Like a rock would rotate. Or a ball would roll along the ground.

But these behaviours don't play nice together. It makes the actor rotate on an axis outside of itself.

Whats the correct way to do it?!

    Try moving the actor relative to the scene.

    @Doguz -- I hope you plan on saving that little 'discovery'! Many GameSalad users accidentally discover that they can change the 'pivot point' of an actor with just a simple combination of a move and a rotate behavior. But most just forget about it. But this can be a very useful (and fun) technique.

    Hey guys, I've recently purchased a template from the GS Marketplace (Platform Template1.2) which features a rolling pick ball actor as the hero. I would like to use the many features available on the template but first it has been killing me trying to figure out how to stop the character from rolling so i can implement simple left and right movements.
    Many Thanks

    @GrangerMate -- I would suggest contacting the author/distributor of the template. It sounds like what you are after is completely different than the topic of this thread.
