you cant seem to keyframe hide/show lines, maybe i can animate line width instead?
What about changing line colour? At least this is animatable and shows its own timeline. Set it to the surrounding skin colour and you have the same effect as an invisible line.
I've done this and it can work. It does have problems when the stroke "sticks out" or goes over a layer underneath it. That "skin color" will show up in odd unexpected places.
Of course if there is no chance that this stroke will "protrude" then it shouldn't be a problem.
Also I have found that I sometimes get a white line where the stroke buts up to the fill. Gap filling set in the vector layer almost removes this.
Changing the color of the outline would be fine but it could give unexpected results. When you change from one color to other you're changing three values (RGB) to match a different one color (other tree different RGB). In the middle the colors could be not matching any of the original ones (the original outline color or the original shape color) so a weird thing could happen. You can have a green when passing from a yellow to a blue. It would only work if the transition is a step keyframe.
I rather prefer to make the outline transparent (alpha to 0) and then it always maintain the color scheme....
Although a transparent yellow over a blue fill would create such kind of green... isn't it? The dynamic hide line feature must be included in the next release!

I'm glad someone did, cause I didn't it but that's cause I'm only one day on the AS trail but hey, it'll kick in as it did with other softwares in past.
Brillaint motion on the lip sync. Man, I found a software I can put all these years of sketching characters. I break through the first months and year of learning curve and I am set.
The dynamic hide line feature must be included in the next release!
