And here, of course, my own wishlist, picking up some ideas of others: 1. Animatable depth sorting of layers. (I did mention this before, did I? *gg*) 2. Multiple audio tracks, but with the added functionality of assignig each of them its own Papagayo file which controls a defined group of layers. T...

That's a long wish list for sure, and I would agree to some points (most of all: animatable depth sorting of layers!). However, it seems to me that the wishes go in different directions.

Animo already had the concept of bones and vector shapes, with billions of possibilities to work with. ...

ah, stupid me. The effect is barely visible if you don't know where to look at: it's the right leg's joint to the pelvis.

It's amazing what you can do when you really have to ... With the help of the forum I was able to solve nearly all problems I ran into within this project, including misbehaving bones, switch layers and such. But how disappointed was I when I read "layer ordering isn't animatable" (in http...
