Trying to dynamically Rotate a Dynamically Created Movie Clip

Question

Hi As3 Gods...
I want to rotate a movieClip that is created and animated by a function in the same Code window.
var electron:MovieClip=new MovieClip
createElectron(electron)
electron.rotation=90 ------> I expect the whole animated MovieClip to rotate. nothing happens though.
// I have a function that receives the electron and build / animates it
function createElectron( receives the MovieClip + more parameters ):MovieClip
{ bunch of codes
returns the MovieClip
It is achievable if I create an external MovieClip through library, and put the createElectron codes inside that movieClip and export it to ActionScipt and then rotate it, but then i donno how to assign Parameters to an external function in the movieClip when i call the electron, i want to be able to tell the function what is the radius, speed, etc. I have never tried creating Classes, donno if it helps me here or not. I think i m failing to sort of WRAP the MOvieClip and the animation inside, so i can rotate the whole thing when returned.

var electronsH:Array=new Array
var electron:Sprite = new Sprite();
buildElectronBeam(8,50,50)
function buildElectronBeam(atom,repeatHorizontal,wide)
             For loop{
                   var electron2:Sprite = new Sprite();
                  singleElectron(radius,4,electron2)  // here i send electron2 to be animated and built up in the called function
                  electron2.rotation=90 // This does rotate the electron but not the animation defined for it.
                   electronsH[h]= electron2
                   addChild(electronsH[h]) // shows that animation is still horizontal
function singleElectron(radius,pixel,electron:Sprite)
createPoint(pixel)
    function createPoint(radio:uint)
        electron.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF,1)
        electron.graphics.drawRect(0,0,pixel,pixel)
        addChild(electron)
        electron.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, movepixels) 
     function Animatepixels(e:Event)
     {   pixel starts to spin on a horizontal line}
I think my problem is I dont know how to attach this animation to be part of the MovieClip so i Can rotate the whole thing. What i was trying to achieve here is to say flash "Consider whatever going on in this singleElectron function as my MovieClip" but as we both see, electron is the movieClip and animate function just performs something without being a part of MovieClip itself.
