Hi guys,

I’m making a preloader in Flash MX 2004 which I want to look like a speedometer of a car (so obviously, 0mph to begin with and the needle points to 200mph when loaded).

I’ve made all the graphics and on one layer of my timeline, have made the animation for the needle so I’m hoping, all I need now is the code.

What code would I need to do this? I’ve seached forums and tutorials but can’t find quite what I’m after.

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

All the best,

Mark
