What type of symbol is used for static images and can also create reusable pieces of animation?

The graphic symbol is specifically designed for handling static images and can also be utilized to create reusable elements in animations. When you convert artwork into a graphic symbol, it retains its visual appearance and can be easily reused across different scenes or compositions within your project. This allows for consistency and efficiency in design, particularly when working with static elements that will not require interactivity or advanced control features.

Graphic symbols excel in situations where you need to maintain visual fidelity without needing the added complexity offered by other types of symbols, such as movie clip symbols that are better suited for more dynamic content and animations that include timelines and scripts. The intended use of graphic symbols is primarily for visual representation and basic animations, which can enhance workflow by allowing repeated use of specific images or animations without duplicating them each time.
