Im making a simple pressure gauge and I want to have face an animated texture of the needle pinging about.

When I go to my textue and click 'Use Image Sequence' I get the following error

'// Warning: Texture file E:/Media/Maya Files/Projects/Shroom/sourceimages/Yin - Industrial/Pressure_Gauge_01.tif doesn't exist, node file63 //'

Can anyone help me, am I even doing right in the first place?

Cheers for your time. user added image

Would it not be easier to have the needle be seperate from the face of the guage and animate it?

That warning is telling you that the texture file cannot be found at that path
