Answer 1:A symbol is basically a graphic that can be animated using the regular functions of Flash such as motion tween, shape tween, motion guide, and etc. An instance is the symbol but like multiple parts of the symbol like copies.

Answer 2:The difference between a frame with an empty circle and a frame with a black circle is that the frame with the empty white circle is a blank keyframe that has no information on it ready to animate. The black circle on the frame means there is stored information in that frame and it is called a keyframe.

Answer 3:One of the main reasons people use Flash is to code actionscripts with the program that allows animations to be more fluid. Another reason people use Flash is to create animated interfaces that viewers can interact with.

Answer 4:You can only motion tween a symbol or graphic.

Answer 5: You can tell the difference between a shape and a symbol because when you click on a shape it highlights the whole object in little dots that look like halftones. When you click on a symbol the whole object is selected with the outline and it doesn't include the little dots.
