the arms pass from behind the torso to the front?

I need to do an animation with a girl that has the hands behind her torso and takes a glass of water and drinks it.

Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish.

- arms and torso on separate layers
- maybe duplicate the arm layer, once without glass, once with glass in hand
- switch visability of layers off and on where needed

I know it, but, how can I pass the arms from behind the torso to the front?

I NEED TO DO THIS IN A FRONT LAYOUT.

You can animate layer order. Put the layers you want to swap inside a group layer, and, at the appropriate moment, swap them over in the layer order.

I think that you can order your objects in front or back to others objects, of course you need to have your upper arm, lower arm and hand in order and separated by layers and then you can move front to back wherever you need it.

spanish:
Creo que puedes puede ordenar los objetos en adelante y atras de los demás objetos, usted necesita tener el brazo superior, antebrazo y la mano en orden y separadas por layers y, a continuación se puede mover de hacia adelante y atrás cuando lo necesite.

No me acuerdo la combinación de teclas, tendrás que buscar en la ayuda.

Yes, I can do it with a vector shape, (select shape tool), but, How can I do this with a switch group? And how can I do this around the timeline (animating)?

I found in the layer settings window this:

Depht sort>>enable animated layer order. How does it work??

It's like bone movent, if you, in any frame of your animation, change the order of layers in "layers" window, the change will be registered.
Try it on!

Is it the same like move layer tool + Alt??

No... I mean move the tabs on the "layers" window, the one on the right of the interface.
Wait, now I'll made a litte tutorial for you.
