The effect I am looking for is essential to create an arrow that has a gradient black to blue that ripples or moves in the arrow to give the illusion of movement.
If anyone can point me to a tutorial or give me some advice on how to do this I would be very greatfull.
I have seached for the answer myself but don't really know what i should be looking for.
Many thanks in advance.

This one, while sounding simple, could be a little tricky for a newbie (depending on how new they are).
1. Make the layer the arrow a mask.
2. Put the gradient on the layer under the arrow.
3. Make the gradient a movie clip (name it accordingly).
4. Open the movie clip and tween it left to right over 10 frames.
5. On the last frame of the movie, put some actionscript gotoAndPlay(1);
This loops the gradient movie indefinately.
That is pretty much it, just preview it and it should work.
