how to bind "mouth set" to a single bone

Hi,
I imported a "mouth set" into my character
head. This set has about 7 layers.
How can I bind this entire "mouth set"
into a single bone? I meant all 7 layers.
It seems to me the set will not be attached to the
bone using "layer option"
Thanks in advance

Put them in a switch layer. (You only need one at a time). Although not a widely-advertised feature, you can then put a bone in the switch layer itself, and bind this bone to the layer above.

These are switch layers, I imported from
the library. When I tried to attached the switch
layer (as a group layer) to a
separate bone, they seems not attaching.

To bind a switch (o any other) layer to a bone, use the "layer bind" method. See Manual.
