I'll assume you made it in flash right? if so - flash, as you may have learned, is a 2D program -
the feature you are requesting is commonly associated with 3D programs. So no, you can create a flat
2D shape in flash and expect to rotate it in space as a 3D object - you need a 3D program for that.

There is indeed a tool! In fact, it is the original "digital" tool: your hand
(the primary meaning of "digital" is "of the fingers"). You'll need to use your
imagination to draw a side view of your character's face. And guess what: it
will look much better than any machine-generated side view.
After you've done the side and front views, you can then put a blank frame
between and use Flash's onion skin function (on the timeline) to draw the
position inbetween. Again, it needs your imagination, your concentration, and
your fingers. Then you can add more blank frames to draw the positions between
side and middle and front...and so on. Once you've done 5 frames you'll have a
fast head turn (depending on your movie's frame rate). If you add more
positions, you'll have a slower, more detailed turn.
That's animation!
