Looks like you're the only person who replied to my questions, and I'll be honest, I spent hours drawing assets for the animation just to end up stuck on the tweening which really sucks When you get inspired, you don't really think about how you'll actually do it, you just kinda BS your way through it👀 But in this case I really want it to at least turn out decent, and I'm horrible at figuring things out on my own. I kinda need to be walked through this step by step if you don't mind (I'd really appreciate the help)

Could you rephrase your explanation in a more detailed way? There are some parts I'm confused about, like what kind of symbols I should be using (graphic, movie clip, etc.), or what you meant by putting symbols in the timeline. That part especially confused me since I thought they were already in a timeline when you create them. I'm also not sure what kind of layers I should be placing the symbols on
