I tried the tutorial for the rotating sphere,
http://www.pinoy7.com/anim/whittle/sphere.shtmlbut it comes out all wrong. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but it comes out really bad. I'm trying to make a planet, but it comes out like this.

Any help would be so much appreciated!!!!

It looks like you were heading the wrong direction since the very beginning.

For this to work the image should be 3 times as wide as it is tall (because PI=3.1472)
Your image looks like a square, so it can't possibly be three times as wide as it is tall. I've never made a something like that in animation shop before, so I'm not sure if that's the only issue.

yeah see, thats the thing. It WAS 3 times wider then it was tall, but it has you cut it into 3 equal squares. Since that tutorial was written for a previous version, I was thinking maybe something got lost in translation as it where. But I dunno, its giving me a headache.

I just tried it again, using the same dimensions he used as an example, 300x100, and it came out just the same. I don't get it, I tried to email the guy who wrote it, but it doesn't work, and the forum of the website it was posted has obviously been abandoned, so I dunno!
