    Your circle is not centered on the Registration point. When you open a new movie clip, the dot you see is what that movie clip will rotate around. It has to be exactly in the middle of the circle, or it will be off centered when it spins.

    here ya go:
    http://www.doyouhaveapen.com/posting...kit/spin_C.swf

    how to make it in flash:
    -draw a perfect circle (hold shift to contstrain aspect ratio) WITH NO STROKE
    -ctrl-k align center to stage
    -select circle
    -ctrl-c (copy)
    -ctrl-shift-v (paste in place)
    -while the new circle is still selected, change its color
    -ctrl-alt-s (scale to 70%)
    -delete the smaller circle
    -you are left with a thick ring
    -draw a straight line across the stage above the circle
    -center this line top-bottom on stage (ctrl-k)
    draw a vertical line to the right of the circle
    -center this line in the middle of the stage.

    ---
    you should now have your ring centered and perfect cross hairs going throuh it.
    -delete the section / quadrant of the circle you want to get rid of
    -delete all the lines intersecting the 3/4 ring
    -select the ring
    -hit f8
    -make it a symbol

    --perform tween of choice

    or just take the one from the mx fla
