I have sent both the gifs to you now, I used both the email addresses you have given me and am so amazed you have not got them.

Maybe you should contact wazarmoto who got my emails ok.

Either that or send me an email address from a real ISP, not a free account like yahoo or gmail (etc).

FAO erg...

I decided not to use the original red star shape as it would be impossible to spin it around because the work area was not a circle. if it was a circle to spin in then thta would have been okay but since it was a rectangular shape, the end points of the star would not always strike the edge of the screen.
So, I decided to start from scratch and heres how I quickly made the GIF.

1) Cut out the characters and black lettering and placed then on a new layer.
2) Then made the whole picture about 5 times bigger - this will become evident later.
3) Eyedropped the orange colour and coloured the whole canvas with it, even going over the original red star shape - so I end up with a big orange canvas.
4) Simple used the straight line tool to draw red lines. So I ended up with 2 layers, one had the characters and text and the other was my orange background with the red star shape drawn onto it.
5) Then via photoshop edited it into imageready.
6) Imageready process was to ensure the animate window was vidsable by going into the view options on the top menu bar. Then I duplicated the orange/red star layer but using the transform tool rotated it 1 degree.
7) repeated this process so I ended up with about 5 duplicated layers - each one rotated by a further 1 degree.
then in the animate window at the bottom left of the screen, I added 5 framed.
9) In frame 1 I made sure that the only visable layers where the original orange layer and the character/text layer.
10) In frame 2 I made sure that the only visable layers where the first duplicated frame (which remember was rotated by 1 degree) and the character tex layer.
11) repeated this process for each frame in the animation window so when you end up on the last frame - then you have the last duplicated layer visable and the character/text layer of course.
To make layers visable or not you simply click the 'eye' icon on the layer.
12) When you press the play button on the animation window, it cycles through the frames in quick sucession and it is animated!
13) Then I simply went into canvas size and resized the canvas to 176x220 (I think) so it was the right size for the SEk750i/w800i.
