it is a picture of a lock
i want to make the center part of it rotate like someone is turning it
does anyone know how i go about doing this

you need to use fireworks to seperate the bit you want to rotate from the background.

then inpost both pics into flash, turn the lock part that you want to rotate into a movie clip and use this (untested ) action script (where your lock moive clip has an instance name of lockmc):

lockmc.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root.lockmc._rotate++;
}

ok so basically
in the time line im making it rotate
different in each one the i make it loop
and i lock the other part of the pic right so just the one rotates.
thanks i think i got it

you could rotate along the timline, but if you use actionscript to do it, you will have more control if you want to speed it up, slow it down change direction etc etc
