How to move a symbol + reference guide

Question

Hi,
I apologize for being a noob.  I installed Animate one week ago and have a prototype due in 3 days, so I'm just going to ask:
1)  How do I move/transform/translate a symbol from code?  Either the timeline, the symbol itself, or another symbol would work.  From within the symbol, I thought I could do something like:
sym.css('left',100);
but it doesn't work.
2)  Is there a reference guide listing everything that you can do to a symbol?  I see examples like:
sym.play();
sym.hide();
sym.animate({opacity: 0}, 500);
but I can't find a list of all of my options.
Or is it anything that I can do with either javascript or jQuery?
Sorry again for giving up and asking.
Thanks
-Sherry

Ah.  There should not be quotes around "left:"
So:
sym.getSymbol("Symbol_1").getSymbolElement().stop(true).animate({left : "-=30px"});
Instead of:
sym.getSymbol("Symbol_1").getSymbolElement().stop(true).animate({"left " : "-=30px"});
