Symbols and interactive movies

Symbols are an integral part of creating interactive movies; you can use instances of symbols to create interactivity in a movie. For example, you can create a button symbol that changes in response to mouse actions and place an instance of the symbol on the Stage. You use another type of symbol, called a movie clip, to create sophisticated interactive movies. See Working with Movie Clips and Buttons.
