Question

Set Order of Layers for Each Frame

Hello Friends! Hope all is well.
I apologize in advance if my termanology isnt great, as I am still learning the Adobe Ecosystem.
I am creating a Top down Walking Animation for a simple Chibi Like Character.
When The Character takes a step forward with say his right foot&leg, I'd like to set it so that the "right foot&Leg" Layer is behind the "Left foot&leg" Layer. 
But then when the character takes a step forward with the left foot&Leg, I'd like to set it so that the "Left foot&Leg" Layer is behind the "Right foot&leg" Layer.
Hopefully that makes sense. I really appreciate the help! Hopefully this is a feature.

Thanks!

    you can't change layer/symbol depth unless you use code.

     

    you can use different parts of a timeline/keyframes  to change the layers used by your symbols.

    Hello,

    I appreciate the response.

    Do you mind alaborating a bit on this?
    I'm definetly willing to look into actionscript. Do you by chance know where to start regarding this?
    Also, I'm having issues understand your second statement if you dont mind going into that further.
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    NOTE: I am fimiliar with what keyframes, symbols, and the timeline are; as this is what I'm currently using to creating the animation.
