Corey shows us how to animate an object in Flash CS3 using a motion guide.

Use Rotation to rotate the symbol throughout
Use easing to enhance the physics of the animation
Change your publish settings so that you can publish your FLA source files with different names

TIP: You can create a link by highlighting a word or image, and drag the point to file option on top of the file in the Files panel.

TIP: Press Command-D (PC: Control-D) to place an object on a document. Click on the Text Wrap panel to wrap text around an image. If you see a red arrow on the corner of a text box, you have overflowing text. Add another page and create another text box. Once that is set, click on the red arrow, and it will load your cursor with the overflow text. You can then load that text into the new text box.
