Answer 1

Simply as pic2.rotationX = -30;

Keep in mind that pic2 will be rotated relative to registration point. If pic2 registration point is at 0,0 and you want to rotate it through center, you could add it to a container sprite, set pic2 coordinates to be centered at 0,0 relative to the container and then perform transformation on the container, like so:

var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
container.addChild(pic2);
pic2.x = -pic2.width * 0.5;
pic2.y = -pic2.height * 0.5;
container.rotationX = -30;
