How do I animate layers to go in different orders?

[TheMinahBird]

I'm making a front walk cycle for a certain type of character. Her front arm is in a layer in the front of her body whilst the other arm is behind the body. So what I want to do is move one to the back and the other to the front.

But only for that key frame. Then swap them back.

Is there a way to do this? Or a script?

By the way I am doing point animation so I'm no using any bones at all.

you need a group that holds your vector layers for example:

girl
> left arm
> body
> right arm

etc

in the group layer there is a "depth sort" tab, and a checkbox that says "enable animated layer order" - make sure that this box is checked.

then, in the animation, you can change the layer order as you need.

Thanks so much!
