I have a character with all his various layers, and a couple of them are in Group layers, or masking groups. I can seem to figure out for the life of me how to bind points from the various layers to the bones I have setup. I'm probably just having a brainfart, but I'm stuck. I selected region binding from the layer but nothing seems to work. I tried a simple shape with no group layers and bones and it worked fine. What am I doing wrong?

Bone can only directly affect layers that are their immediate children. In your example, the bones cannot control the vector layers that are down inside the sub-groups.

So I have to have everything under the bone layer for it to work? Gotcha. What about my masking group for the eyes? (eyelids are masked by the eye shapes)

Attach the whole eye layer to the bone you want. Even if the skeleton won't affect the points directly, you can attach an entire 900 pound gorilla of a group layer to a bone and it's just peachy. If you need to affect points inside a group, just put them inside a bone layer instead of a group layer (since bone layers are really specialized group layers). Bone layers within bone layers within bone layers is fine.

Thanks, I didn't realize I could still do layer masking with a Bone layer.
