I couldn't edit the symbol by double clicking on star...I have CS2...is this a function of CS3 only...if so...what other options do I have to edit multiple symbols other than clicking on every single path? Thanks.

The edit a symbol in CS2 you have to redefine the symbol, its easy. Drag the symbol you wish to edit out of the symbols pal. and right click it and hit "Break link to Symbol" then make your edits and select the whole object, then select the symbol you wish to change in the symbols pal. Click the little arrow in the top right of the symbols pal. and hit "Redefine Symbol"

Try Option+Delete or go Edit>Fill and choose foreground color from the dialog box that pops up.

soy seguidor de tus tutoriales porque son claros y precisos, eres muy bueno, espero sigas poniendo buenos tuts. Sería bueno algunos sobre los distintos usos de las mascaras. That means: ï'm a fan of your tuts because their precise and clear, ur really good, hope u could keep uploading good tutorials. It'll be great to have one about the different uses of masks on Ai.
