heya guys

does anyone know how to make a preloader that goes in a circle rather than a bar?

I have done the tutorial with the bar and have that working, but i’d love to do something a little different & have a wheel or a cog that slowly spins as it loads…

any ideas or examples would be great!

thanx

Add text at bottom saying loading, get the dynamic text box in the centre of the spinning thing…

The spinning thing would be a movie clip…

If you want the circle to fill up as it loads… I have no idea.
