If you are trying to animate a still image, that will not work. You must start with a moving image or great one using drawing tools.

Are you wanting the image to rotate or spin?

When I open this http://i43.tinypic.com/10em074.gif it seems to spin OK.

From what I can see it looks pretty good Lanarkshire. Is every thing working for you now?

Yes, got the hang of it again just need to work on it a bit more although what I don't know how to do is remove the gaps in the badges.
The bits that are clear or you can see right through.
When I make it a PNG it still shows as white.

I'm not too fussed about that at the moment though.
