Beginner question : multiple layers

Hi. I've read some of the manual , but I'm still confused about something :

How do I select multiple layers so that I can switch off their visibility in one go ?

( holding down the shift key doesn't seem to do anything )

I'm trying to do something in the style of Ren & Stimpy, where every second frame or so, the character goes into a completely different pose.

I plan to just make multiple copies of a face in different extreme poses and switch them on and off vs. try to move points around and have the points 'swim' around to get to the next expression.

Also, I can merge two layers right ? ( such as the pupil and iris of an eye ) What about having two layers controlled by the same bone ?

I'm still testing the demo of Moho at the moment.

I seem to remember asking a similar question before, but can't remember the response since it's been so long ago.

Thanks !

Read in the help files and tutorials about something called a Switch Layer.

You can turn switch layers (containing many layers) on and off. You can put groups of switch layers into group layers and turn them on and off.

This would accomplish what you are trying to do.
