The 'chasing arrows' is no longer OSX-HIG conformant (Apple Human Interface  
Guidelines 2005-8-11, page 138) and the asynchronous progress indicator is

It's a  16x16 24-frame animated gif, is only 4kb in size, and should 
replicate  native OSX for most purposes in your stacks. With thanks to Todd for 
locating  the original 32px tiff files!

Notes for folks new to animated icons in Revolution...
1. Download from the address above
2. Unzip to the gif
3. Import the image file into your stack
4. Make a note of the image's ID
 
To Start the animation, type this in the message box...
    set the repeatCount of img id [theImgID] to -1
To stop the animation, type this in the message box...
    set the repeatCount of img id [theImgID] to 0

To implement in a button (so you can use a single image anywhere and as  many 
times as you want without duplicating it), simply set the icon of the  button 
to [theImgID] and use the same lines above to start and stop as  required.
