Spin the "From On High" Particle Emitter

Have been using FCP X for a long time and having no problems.


However, I am having a hard time getting going in Motion 5.


I could use some times on the following task:


I am trying to develop a clip which has a rotating spotlight, much like you would see outside a theater in the old Hollywood premiers.


I think the From On High particle emitter is the way to start, but I cannot seem to make it Spin around a fixed center point.


Any suggestions?


I don't think this is hard, but I am just having a difficult time getting started in Motion 5.


Any other suggestions for this idea?


An example of what I am trying to accomplish can be seen at https://vimeo.com/126066836


Thanks for any help here
