FLASH: efficient symbol storage and movie speed

[W8N]

I honestly have not been working on flash at all. I have decided to tackle it and

have some questions and am trying to learn some basics.


I recently used the flashwriter plug in for Illlustrator to export some art and

when imported into flash, it breaks the art up into a thousand pieces and puts

them into the library [probably after I turn the thing into a symbol].


Is there no way to make the symbol only be one part of itself without the

supporting cast of all its members? What is the most efficient way to do this

symbol thing?


I also wanted to know if after you creat an animation you want it to go faster, is

there an easy way or do you have to go it there and remove frames?


Thanks,

Jorge [many more questions to come...if I can keep on working on this thing w/o

getting discouraged].
