If you want true 3d rotation then you will need to use a 3D program. But there is a cheeky way of rotating the bullet. Create a rectangle then gradient fill the colour with a varying shade of gold or sivler colour, whatever colour you want your bullet to be. Make this rectangle about 4 times the height of your bullet. Now create another layer and draw a bullet shape. Make that layer a maks layer. You should see your gradient fill in the bullet shape. All that remains it to tween the rectangle down so that it looks like its spinning.
Youāve inspired me to make a fla, iāll post here when i do.
Regards,
Viru.

Valay5: Your welcome.

I saw the effect you wanted somewhere but I canāt remember where ā¦ Maybe it was [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org), I donāt know ā¦

Heres a different version of Skinnyās (hope you donāt mind that I played with it) that is a little easier to move around. The rings will follow the bullet instead of using tweens. So move the bullet wherever, it wonāt matter
[edit] code changed to be less crappy [/edit]

Not bad, not bad at all. Iām no good at actionscripting so thats why I did it the way I did. But that was pretty good. The only prob. was that the bullet slowly went down, other than that its excellent. If anyone thinks that they can inprove on it give it a go!
