SYMBOL AND INSTANCE
A symbol is an object in Adobe Animate. It can be a graphic, a button or a movie clip that can be
created and stored in the library. A symbol once created and stored in the library can be reused.
When we drag a symbol from the library to the stage, we create an instance. An instance can be
different from the parent symbol in colour, size and function.
