If you look closely you can see a line caused by a mask. The 'head' layer is sandwiched between two layers of 'hair'. The layer of 'hair' on top is masked out. I expanded the mask (face) by one pixel and it seemed to work but then it was there again when I exported it.
I plan to add phonemes to a SmartBone switch layer as well as a body so that the head can talk as it turns but the line in the hair is a problem. I would like to fix that before I continue.

Re: There's a line in the hair
I'd have to see your layer/masking setup.

Re: There's a line in the hair
Do you want strokrs to be unmasked?
If so go in layer settings and select "Exclude Strokes".

Don't forget! No one is perfect!

I didn't clean the file up. After I posted my question I realized I should've tried unmasking the 'front' hair first.synthsin75 wrote:I'd have to see your layer/masking setup.
I still value your input. You are a professional animator who also writes code.

@sillyanimate, I excluded strokes because the eyes, eyebrows and the mouth are masked.

Re: There's a line in the hair
Hiding the stroke, with the hide edge tool, on the top of the head (face layer) seems to do the trick.

Re: There's a line in the hair
I still appreciate your help but the wind has gone out of my sails. The problem with the 'masking line' was solved and I thought I'd be able to start work on phonemes when it occurred to me that I had no skeletal bones. I'm gonna have to rebuild the character.synthsin75 wrote:Glad to help.
I've been away for several months and forgot a couple of rules:
1. Bind skeletal bones before you create SB actions.
2. Create SB actions before you put vector layers in a switch layer.
I have ASP9.5 but I would follow the same rules even for ASPv11.
