No "Sort Layers By Depth", no one ever said anything about that. If you can't follow these very clear instructions, you may just be hopeless. :wink: 1. Take all of the layers you may wish to animate the sorting order of and place them in a single group or bone layer (both of these are 'gro...

If you are doing these layer sortings within a grouping layer, it will work. Just like 5.6, layer sorting only occurs within a grouping layer. So if you want to sort layers, you need all the layers you want to sort in a parent grouping layer, as it is that layer that gets keyed. If you missed this f...

Download the trial version, and find out.

Greg, you now need to go into the bone (or group) layer's layer settings depth sort tab to enable animated layer sorting. Then moving the layers will actually add these keyframes to that grouping layer.

I'd just add that ASDebut 6 is so much better that AS Standard 5.6 users will feel like they've upgraded to Pro. There is just that much more to it. Even without some of the features of Pro, ASD still allows things like very easy frame by frame (you don't even need to rely on onionskin any more). Ve...

I said MANY of those things were brought up. I also took that to mean that Mike way aware of "many" of those bugs. In every single case Mike explained why things either couldn't be done at this time or why he felt they shouldn't be done for whatever reason. I don't think that was an over-...

Some questions:

Is there going to be an updated script documentation?

What happened to the ctrl+F5 to reload scripts? This is absolutely needed for script development.

A good video tutorial is not just randomly doing stuff and screen capturing it. A good tutorial needs to be thought out and in some cases "practiced". That's exactly what I mean by having no support. If I didn't think someone else would be nipping at my heels will much better tutorials, I...

But it would be a shame if people were turned off by 15 pages of posts from a subset of users bitching and moaning about something they have not really had time to evaluate thoroughly. This forum represents Smith Micro's investment in the future of AS. That's kind of the point though. If a few of u...

Vern, I'm not blaming the beta testers. Every person is apt to have a different focus, and what they are liable to find will be different as well. The point of more testers is to try to bridge this gap. That's all I'm saying here. I have not complained any about the pricing, and, like I said, I'm go...

synthsin75 which explained, "Also, if you're using Windows, scripts that immediately open a dialog will run twice if used as a button. Just cancel the second time it runs."

This seems to be fixed in version 6.

Once again, great episode! Love the burger revolt. Were you the chicken hunter?

Thanks you Selgin! Finally I've got some bug support (instead of being told that my version isn't final, and ignored). Overall, sending a beta to retail, many bugs, etc. make it seem that version 6 was greatly rushed to market. I asked Agent Smith in PM, but since I got no answer there- how many bet...

So what's the story on the gradients being warped by bone influence even though their shapes are point bound to another bone??
