Bones & group layers?

Post by psvfx »

How do bones and Group layers work together? I'm watching this video tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgJzZV1nty8

But I've got my assets and layers grouped in nested Group layer folders for organization purposes and I can't seem to bind points from a bone to another layer that is within a group folder beneath the bone layer? How does this work? Can't bones be bound to any point on any layer or does it not work if there is a group layer between the bone layer and the vector layer?

if that is so, then how do you organize your vector layers with a more complex object than the one in the video above? thanks for any help! :)

Bones only affect layers which are directly inside the bone layer, not any deeper.

A group layer (and a switch layyer) can only be layer bound to one bone.
