Now go to the Window menu and choose Symbols. To create symbols out of your art, click-and-drag each item into the Symbols panel, or simply press F8. You’ll see the new Symbol Options dialog that’s been carried over from Flash, which allows you to make the art a Graphic symbol or a Movie Clip. We want to select Graphic and give the symbol a name that corresponds to which side it represents. Do this for all the objects. Once the art is converted to symbols, delete the art on the artboard.
