(Flash Professional CS6 and earlier versions only) Symbol properties and links

Using the Symbols panel or the Control panel, you can easily assign names to symbol instances, break links between instances and symbols,
swap a symbol instance with another symbol, or create a copy of the symbol. In Flash, the editing features in the Library panel work in a similar
way.

(Flash Professional CS6 and earlier versions only) Static, dynamic, and input text objects

When you bring static text from Illustrator into Flash, Flash converts the text to outlines. In addition, you can set up your text in Illustrator as
dynamic text. Dynamic text enables you to edit text content programmatically in Flash, and easily manage projects that require localization in
multiple languages.

In Illustrator, you can specify individual text objects as static, dynamic, or input text. Dynamic text objects in Illustrator and Flash have similar
properties. For example, both use kerning that affects all characters in a text block rather than individual characters, both anti-alias text the same
way, and both can be linked to an external XML file containing text.
