First off i'd like to thank R3D and Nominator for the idea but i would like to teach you the quick way to make the scan bar. This takes less than 1/3rd of the time Wink

1) First off open the image you want to apply it to:

2) Crete a new layer
3) Now use the Marquee tool to make a rectangular shape the size you want the scan bar and fill it with a clour.
4) Then change the overlay to colour and add a 1 pixel black stroke to it (Layer->Layer Style->Stroke)

9) Create a tween and enter the following:

10) Now create a 18th frame in the animation after the 17th frame and move the scan bar back to the bottom.
11) Then select the 17th frame and create a tween with the same settings (Make sure next frame is selected).
12) Once you are happy, save the file as a gif. File>Save Optimized As.
There we have it a scan bar in half of the time!
