One option would be to put the spinning logo in a MC and loop it in there

(GoTo Frame 1 and play). Put that MC on the main timeline and create your

text fade-in as you normally would. The stop action at the end of the text

fade should not effect the spinning logo, it should continue spinning even

when the text has completely faded in and stopped.


I hope that makes sense.
