Simple layer sorting question

Ok I feel like I am relearning everything here.

In new AS 6 did they change how to move a layer in the timeline?

Here is what I have, a bone layer, 3 layers in it. Head line (for masking), a nose, and the Head (full color).

At some point I want the nose to flip back behind the head as in a head turn. In AS 5 I would just move the layer in the group and it was done.

Now I do that and the nose becomes visable outside the mask and the sorting doesn't work, the nose is always behind the head.

Sorry I am sure this is simple but couldn't find it in the tutorial.

Double-click the group/bone folder, go to the DEPTH SORTING (I think) tab and there's a check-box there for ENABLE ANIMATED LAYER ORDERING.

This particular issue got me too ;)

Mikdog thanks

It worked to move the layer in the group.

Problem is when I move the layer, the object in the layer becomes unmasked.

Yet it is still selected as add to mask.


Any ideas anyone?
