Animating any object can be done in two ways in a flash, first is a simple animation that has a starting and an ending but the other type is the loop animation in which an object is doing a certain action again and again. An example of such animation is a table fan in which the blades keep on rotating, so animating these types of objects is quite easy in flash with the looping method in which the object to be looped will be converted to a symbol and then animated.

Table Fan Animation

Animation of objects is really very important for any animation project or scene because in a scene there are many objects like bulbs, fans, television, etc and these objects add realism to any scene so these should be animated. So we will animate a table fan by using a vector image of the fan. We will use one of the simplest methods which will save our time. Follow the below steps to animate a table fan.
