First thing you must do is create the symbol (the graphic). Now, while you're editing the symbol, make it do the animation you want... ie: a rotating head, a swinging pendulum, etc... Now, go back to Edit>> Movie. Drag the animated symbol onto it's own layer, in a key frame where you want it to start moving. Do what ever else you want around it. On the frame you want the animation to stop, create a key frame and add the "Stop" action to that frame. Now, go to Control>> Test Movie. Check it out, the main animation will stop at the specified frame, but the symbol will continue. It act independantly from the main animation.

I hope I described it well enough. If not, ask any more questions and I'll try and clear it up.
