Recently i've been wanting to have my characters hold something in anime studio, (using anime studio debut 6) I know you can bind layers, but lets say i want to have the character throw the object, how do i do that?

One obvious way is to use switch layers. You need one layer containing the hand holding the object, and the other layer with just the hand. At the point that the object leaves the hand, switch to the hand without the object, and then animate the object in a separate layer flying off.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
