One more advantage of making the Text into Symbols is the ability to

change the center point. For instance it may work better to move the

center of the Symbols made from the letters from dead center to the

baseline centered at the bottom of the letters. The letters would then

ride on top of the line instead of centered on it. Though you could

create the same motion either way, one way might be easier to implement

than the other depending on the particular animation.
