Thx Wendy.
Lompoc...
You can find out all about this subject by typing "Throbber" in the search engines. Here's a simple run-down though...
Basically you just create the image or animation. Scale the saved copy to 41x41 pixels. and another @ 48 pixels. This image can be as big as you want, but will stretch the height of the menubar in the browser if too big. File size is not an issue for this either.
Then you add a couple new string values in the registry and boom... a new throbber. [excited]
Use CAUTION when editing the registry please, unless you're a power user.
Sometimes the registry enter doesn't take the first time. If it doesn't work, open Regedit again and re-enter to new string values.

I just type all my numbers on one type layer. Nothing special. When i reached a certain amount of numbers (
to fit width of ani) i just hit Enter to move the type cursor down to the next line. Did that until i had all the number rows i needed. Then to animate 'em, i just nudged the numbers a few pixels right-to-left.
Understand? :B
