Sounds as though this is similar to the question you asked right after this. Am I right? Anyway, if you mean 3d rotate then the object would have to be a 3d object. If you want it to spin it, then it can be any object. (Besides sound :D )

What I mean is like you know the gear in paint, right? i want to make it rotate but when i set the rotation velocity and play it, it rotates (spin) but it revolutes too. Please help me with this.

Did U Select the center? Try clicking on "Find center of Selected Object" Or try placing the + in the middle of the Object... :rolleyes:

Your suppose to tell the Program where the center of your object is...

when U click on the object U will see a + somewhere near or even far away from the objact, your suppose to GRAB IT and move it to the center of the object..

There's a much easier way to do it. If you look on the left hand side of your screen (the toolbar) you'll see an icon that looks the exact same as the + in the editing window. If you click that, the center will automaticlly be set to, well, the center!!! :D
