Shape enters slide, vertical to horizontal

Hi,

Is it possible to have a shape, say a rectangle, and have it enter the slide by coming in from the left, but the rectangle also 'falls', so that the top part swivels (falls) down to the horizontal?
So rectangle off slide and vertical. It then moves into the slide, while at the same time the top of the rectangle comes down so that the rectangle is now lying on its side.

I can't figure out if motion paths can do this, since they appear to be centred in the shape. Maybe there's another way?

Thanks!

    I can't think of a more elegant way right now, but have a look at the attached. It's a combination of a motion path on a rectangle shape and a quarter spin on a group that consist of two rectangles. The one transparent rectangle is only there to "create" a mid point for the group that makes it look like the visible rectangle is falling over its lower-right corner. Crude as it is, maybe this gives you some ideas.
