thanks for the circular text info, once you said polar inversion,the voices in my head said "Duh". But I do have the same problem with teh black box issue. I saved it to my desktop as "Rotating Text.agif" then renamed ot "Rotating Text.gif" but it just came out to be a black box.
I'm more than certain I followed all the steps, which probably means I missed one lol. Any help would be nice, thanks
