Don't click "Insert --> New Symbol"

instead, click "Modify --> Convert to Symbol"

Hope that helps :)

@CoolDudeClem Make sure you copy the frames BEFORE making it a symbol...i did the same as you lol.

"You cannot place a symbol inside itself", NOW WTF am I doing wrong?

[alewo111]

why do we make the symbol twice though?

[DareToBlink]

I accidentally made my character a symbol first. How do I undo this so I can get all of my layers back?

@hugegummybear You click on it with the selection tool and hit F7, I THINK.

[RoziBadgerNinja24842]

Wait-is the character you start with a symbol, or is it just a drawing? THIS IS SO CONFUSING?
