Symbols (spinning spuds)

These are my potatoes and I converted them to a symbol. I did this by finding a image on the internet and copy and pasting it into flash. To make it into a symbol you select the image and then click modify and then convert to symbol. You then get 3 choices you can make it into a movie clip, button or graphic. I selected graphic and named it potato. When you convert a image from the internet to a symbol it goes from a rasta graphic to a vector graphic. Once I converted the image to a symbol I could then use the same symbol over and over. This is how I added several of the same image. To make them movie I made two key frames and one of them at frame one and another at frame 40. I then moved one of the potatoes from one side of the screen on frame one to the other side on frame 40 then right clicked in between the two key frames and inserted a motion tween to make it move across the screen. I also made one of the potatoes fade out by creating a motion tween and selecting the effect alpha and finally the two potatoes in the corner i made a motion tween again and then put a clock wise rotation. The potato spins 70 times before it starts again.
