To create a moving GIF/movie, you start by importing the images you want to animate. Place one of the images on the workspace and in the timeline above 'control click' 'add blank keyframe' and then add  the rest of the images. If you want to make the animation longer 'control click' add frame onto each key frame. Also when making the animation and you want to see what you have previously done on the frame before click 'onion skin' so as the see a trace. To create a 'symbol', after making the object, create a new layer, then 'modify' 'convert to symbol'. You can then delete the image off the workspace as it will appear in the library. 

I then went on to do my own and try out the same method but with different drawings and using some new techniques.
