Hi,

I am looking for a speedometer tutorial. I am very much a newbie at action scripting. So far, I have my pre-made speedo, and have imported into flash, and I have created a needle, and made it a movieclip. I have read to use the \_rotation propertie, and when I do this, it dosen’t work for me. I think i need to know a few more steps. Thanks for you help!!

Hi,  
Can you show us what you did?  
And what is a speedometer anyway? 😛
