Symbols
Symbols provide an efficient way to add
multiple instances of artwork, objects,
or functionality to a file. Each instance
of a symbol is defined by the original
symbol. Changes made to the original
symbol are applied to all other instances.
In Flash, you can have button, graphic,
movie clip, or font symbols. You might
even have symbol instances that load
images or video, or contain animation
or code. Illustrator now supports the
same types of symbols as Flash, including
instance names and 9-slice scaling for
symbols. Sharing symbols between
Illustrator and Flash is an easy and
effective workflow.
Smart Objects
Smart Objects give you the flexibility
to scale, rotate, and warp layers
nondestructively in Photoshop. You
can create a Smart Object in Photoshop
by converting one or more layers.
In addition, you can paste or place
the data in Photoshop from Illustrator.
Once a Smart Object stores source data
inside a Photoshop document, you can
then work on a composite of that data
in the image. When you want to modify
the document (for example, to scale it),
Photoshop re-renders the composite
data based on the source data.

Saving and Exporting
While file formats and export options
are different in each component, the
process of saving and exporting is very
similar. Under the File menu, you will
always have the option to Save, Save As,
Save a Version (when using Version Cue)
or Export your file. Saving your file
lets you define its properties. Saving
As lets you save a copy of your file of
the same or different file type, and
with the same or different properties.
Exporting lets you save a version
of your file as a file type not native
to the component you are working in.
