Hi all… I am wondering how to make this wheel actually act like a wheel on my site. I would like it to turn left and right, but smoothly.

Can anyone help me accomplish this effect?

I have attached the transparent image and the current image on my site.

Thank you all

a simple motion tween between the wheel as a symbol, with one rotated left, and the other rotated right will work.

to make it [edit] \<i\>smoother\</i\> [/edit], make your frame rate at least 20fps…

careful rev, you don’t want to oversimplify the whole smoothness thing, right? :q:

Rotating it does not make it look like it is turning however.
