I animated a woman playing guitar in a symbol. I want to use the bone tool to make her dance while she plays guitar. I placed the symbol on the stage on one of my layers. I extended frames with the symbol out on the timeline to 160 frames. I tryed using the Bone Tool on the symbol but it won't work at all.

Hi mate,
Just forget about the bone tool. It will only give you grief and waste countless hours of your life if you decide to persist for a while...
There are other systems that should give you better control such as the built-in Layer Parenting or the Smart Magnet Rigs.
It's usually important to plan and rig before you start animating, but it is not impossible to do it afterwards.
Unfortunately with these things you usually learn from making mistakes, so I wish you good luck!
