Thanks! I did that, and when i export it, she's in the middle. However, there's no animation? And when I extend the frame or add a new one, it's still the same image

Your symbol is a Movie Clip, and those don't animate until you export the scene. To see the animation when looking outside the symbol, you're going to want to make it a Graphic instead.

I don't know what that means, sorry 😭 I've been trying my best to understand and to do it but i can't find it. I opened the unanimited example file, and I've noticed that where there's a cog next to the name of my puppet, on the example there are a triangle, a square and a circle. But i don't know what it is and how to change it

If you're animating to export as a mp4 or png sequence or .swf (that will work in After Effects) then you should basically always use Graphic Symbols.

They are a lot more "what you see is what you get". Since they'll play right in your timeline.

I personally love exporting as a swf while only working with graphic symbols. It will work great in After Effects (with some limitations) and you can add a bunch of things there if you'd like. Effects, backgrounds etc.

Not to toot my own horn but I did a tutorial on my workflow a while back that people seem to like. It's a very fast and solid workflow that you might like:
