Making a switch layer a child

Hi All
Silly question but I'm using a png image as an image layer of a character's face and want to add a switch layer so it's a child of the image layer. The switch layer will have 5 eye images so the character can blink BUT I need the switch layer (with the eyes) to stay with the face when the face moves. How do I make the switch layer a child of the face layer..dragging it doesn't work.

Many thanks

Chris

Best thing to do would be to make a group layer and put the face and the eye switch layer inside of it.

Then if you want to move them around together, just move the group layer that contains them all.

Thanks a lot

Works perfectly!! I was using the switch layer tutorial from Myles but couldn't get the switch layer to become a child..hmmm that tutorial was done with Moho 3 so maybe 5 uses Groups now...great to know little tricks!!
