• ·        open your adobe flash and select action script 2.0

·        The idea of this spinning animation it's something to animate that relates to spinning like wheels, boomerang, electric fan and etc.

• ·        We need to draw some spinning object in our workspace. I choose to draw a simple one like boomerang.
• ·        Use the line tool to draw the boomerang (N) for shortcut.

Simple way to draw the boomerang is like drawing the mouth of pacman when it's open.

  You can add a paint bucket color if you want to fill its color (R) for shortcut.

Like this:

• Right click on the boomerang and select convert to symbol

Name: boomerang

Type: movie clip

• Double click the object boomerang and you will see a different workspace for the boomerang
• Use free transforming tool (q) shortcut. F
• Insert a keyframe (f6) in your 2nd playhead
• Rotate the boomerang going right by little.

Our goal is to rotate the boomerang until it goes back to the original position.

For the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th playhead insert all with keyframes and rotate the boomerang little by little in each keyframe until the boomerang reach to its original position.
