Moho Forum

I am very new. To help me learn how to use ASP, I am trying some practical experiments. Each avenue I explore has, for me, a dead end. I'm quite aware that my problem is mostly a "vocabulary" one, but, without being able to find a glossary, as such, I am stumbling around on my own.
My immediate problem is that I can't find out how to use a switch layer. I have started on Fiziwig's tutorials, and am stuck on the very first task. It is to draw an eye, and, using a switch layer, get it to turn.
I have drawn the eye, each layer containing a different view, just like his tutorial. I have these three layers inside the switch layer. But then he says, " Then I selected the layer "front" at frames 1, 36, and 72; selected "left" at frame 18, and "right" at frame 54. WHAT? How?
I have spent days trawling tutorials, forums, etc., and I'm quite ready to give up!
To those of you who know the system and the language inside-out, please have patience with me. I have already pm-ed a very kind member regarding another issue I was distracted by in my quest to learn, and I know you can be an understanding bunch when the moon is in the right quarter.... =P
So far, everything I have tried to do has thrown up brick walls to me, so please could someone explain what the tutorial seems to assume I already know?
This will be my first step away from giving up...

If you simply right-click on the switch layer itself you can select what layer you want. This will put a key for that switch in the timeline.

To cause apparent movement just put a key for one switch, move to another place in the timeline, and put another key there and so forth.

Wow! You did it in one!
I've actually done something that works, at last!
Thank you so much for that!
