I want to convert 9 Sonic symbols in separate frames to a movie clip, and I have no idea how to do that. I'd like some help.

Do you have Flash (i.e., the program, not just Flash Player)?

It certainly sounds like he does. I haven't got much experience in Flash, but: you might have to create the movie clip and copy & paste each frame into that. I don't know if there's an automatic way to import multiple frames.

If you need help from scratch:

1) draw a box
2) right-click -> convert to symbol, choose movie clip
3) double-click the box and delete it from inside
4) in the timeline, select the first 9 frames and press F6
5) in each one, copy-paste one of your frames. Use right-click -> paste in place to get it all lined up properly, or use onion skins (button in the timeline)

Sorry if this isn't what you want/you were looking for automation

When converting and positioning things in Flash, Ctrl+V (paste in centre of screen- though it's off by a a few tenths of a pixel usually) and Ctrl+Shift+V (paste in place ie. wherever you copied the thing from, put it at the same co-ordinates) are your friend.

Also, editing multiple layers and Onion skinning are REALLY usefull.
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)
