Hello all :),

I have a problem I hope you can help me solve. I have a logo with an orb and some semi-ellipses. I would like the ellipses to orbit around the orb in a 3D fashion (front-back of the orb) for some time, then stop for a second or two, and rotate again. Could somebody please point me in the right direction?

The file can be downloaded at: [http://www.cikorka.si/projekti/EE/3D\_ellipse\_orbit.fla](http://www.cikorka.si/projekti/EE/3D_ellipse_orbit.fla).

Thanks!
