     *  A utility method to update the rotation, scale, and translation of the 
     *  transform while keeping a particular point, specified in the component's 
     *  own coordinate space, fixed in the parent's coordinate space.  
     *  This function will assign the rotation, scale, and translation values 
     *  provided, then update the x/y/z properties as necessary to keep 
     *  the transform center fixed.
     *  @param scale the new values for the scale of the transform
     *  @param rotation the new values for the rotation of the transform
     *  @param translation the new values for the translation of the transform
     *  @param transformCenter the point, in the component's own coordinates, to keep fixed relative to its parent.
