I used to know how to do this (maybe): I want to load a Symbol from the Library on the fly into an Object on the stage. I think I have to give the Symbol a Class under Properties/Linkage, but after that I’m lost.

I know this is a hack-y way to do it, but I want to do this without external Classes and files, all in the one swf.
