I'm creating a character with a front view and side view, and all seemed to work fine until I made a switch layer with mouth shapes for my side view. When it's on the 0 frame, the mouth shows up, but if I change it to any other frame, the mouth mysteriously disappears. I then tried creating a new switch layer under my side view, but the same thing happens. Whatever I draw will show up and can be changed in the 0 frame, but then the whole entire switch layer seems to disappear if i change the frame to anything else.
Also, when I try changing the selected item in the mouth switch in frame 1 for example, the blue dot will show up on the timeline, but the mouth is completely gone.
I then tried moving the side view mouth layer to the front view character...and it works in all the frames again!
To make things even more confusing, I also have a switch layer for eyes and hands in the side view, but they work fine. It's just all the new switch layers I try creating don't work.
Changing the name of the switch layer doesn't do anything either, so it's not a problem of two layers having the same name.
To give you an idea how I have my character set up:
Switch Layer: Character
Group: Front Bones: Front Bones Switch: Mouth Switch: Eyes Various Vector Layers Group: Side Bones: Side Bones Broken Switch: Mouth Switch: Eyes Various Vector Layers
lol I solved my own question
