Convert to Symbol?
I'm fairly new to Flash design.
I was just wondering, when do I NEED to covert to a symbol?
I've done some items and not others. Haven't noticed a difference.
Thanks

it like a Flash book or even the help docs should have something on
this. Symbols serve different purposes depending on their type.
Button, Graphic, Movie Clip.
A symbol has its own timeline and you can have artwork, other symbols
etc... on that timeline. This is called nesting and helps you organize
your work as well as add functionality.
When you make something into a symbol will depend on a lot of factors.
Your best bet is to read about what they do and understand each type
and then you'll start to see reasons why to use them.
