Im trying to use the animate like bfdia video by webzforevz to help me to animate, and for some reason my adobe animate isnt working like his, for starters he selects each individual item as they are all in the same symbol. im not sure if he did something inbetween/ off camera, but this is so confusing, then he had them all in frame picker. which doesnt work for me at all. any help would be sincerely appreciated!

    You seem to lack most basic knowledge of Flash.

     

    In the attched tutorial, he selects the mouths, converts the content to a graphic symbol, i.e. wraps them inside a container, then enters this symbol by double-clicking and distributes to frames there.

    Then he exits the symbol and can frame pick its content.

     

    In your case, you distribute on the main timeline, so you don't have a container (graphic symbol) from which you can frame pick.

     

    To be able to follow tutorials you need to learn the basics first:
