Layer Binding within Groups
I do not have a long list, but I think a nice feature---for those of us who like organizing our layer palette---would be to allow layers to be individually bound, even if they are within a group . Currently one can bind a group to a bone, but one cannot bind a layer within that group to a bone. Just a thought.

The problem is I do not have the option to select and bind any of the layers within a "group layer" to bones (the "Bind Points" and "Bind Layer" options are dissabled). Also, when I bind points to bones, it "de-optimizes" that layer, so it is not optimized for flash/swf exporting. I would like to have the option to be able to select a layer within a group layer and then bind that to a bone, without "de-opitmizing" it.

This problem was solved many years ago by the introduction of the Bone nested layers control.peter wassink wrote:i'm looking for a solution for this... no suggestions in 15 year?

Re: Layer Binding within Groups
Thanks for your reply Victor.
Sorry for my ignorance.
i'm working at a school with version 10, im not sure it has nested layers control.
The weird thing is, one student managed to see and use the bind layer tool when on a grouped image layer,
while for another student the bind layer tool remained invisible...?
this puzzled me
but we are on macs here and i heard AS10 is quite buggy on macs...
the situation is not ideal. i have version 12 myself, and find myself scratching my head a lot over this old version.

Re: Layer Binding within Groups
there's a check box in the bone layer settings / bone tab - allow nested layer control. If that's not set then this could explain why the bind layer tool (and other bone tools) were not showing.peter wassink wrote: The weird thing is, one student managed to see and use the bind layer tool when on a grouped image layer, while for another student the bind layer tool remained nvisible...?
