What’s New

Symbols in Illustrator CS3 are enhanced for ease of use and better integration with Flash. 

Symbol options now include defining a symbol type as a movie clip or graphic symbol, 

assigning the symbol a Flash registration location, and enabling guides for 9-slice scaling. 

You will also find similar interface elements, such as the F8 keyboard shortcut for creating a 

symbol and access to options via the Control panel like those in the Flash Property inspector.

Take advantage of the power of Illustrator with symbols that are now more practical to 

create, more easily customizable, and can be used in Flash with confidence.

In the United States and Canada, Adobe Illustrator CS3 for Mac OS X on Intel®-based or 

PowerPC®-based systems and for Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Vista™ is expected
