OK when you get to the point in your animation, where you need to use the switch layer do it like this.

select the switch layer in layers window.

next click on the switch tool in tool window.

now in the main window you can see Active child, it shoul be top left of main window. from the drop down list, pick the layer name you need.

Good Luck :)

or make a data file use note pad

here is an example, MohoSwitch1. is what you start with, then in the next line add the frame number (I have put 1 so my animation starts with the eyes open)
then you put the name of the layer you want to use(my switch layer name is OPEN)
in the next line i have ( 6 close ) so when my animation gets to frame 6 the switch will dsiplay the layer named close.
when you get to the end of the file you put ( MohoSwitch0 ) to end the data.

MohoSwitch1
1 open
6 close
12 open
30 close
MohoSwitch0

Remember when saving the file to do it like this

first change the ( Save as type ) to All Files.

Now name the file (I named my one EYES) and add its extention .dat

eyes.dat

Now click save

all done :D :D :D
