I know there is a solve - but I have a specific kind of eye that I am drawing for a character. I am starting with the blank template now from pro and going step by step. eyes are proving to be most difficult. My pupils will NOT move with my eyes left, right, up or down. THe pupil is inclusive of BOTH the black center with the white dots to show light reflecting. I haave them grouped together in AI when i am building the puppet. Any thoughts on how i can get my pupils to move with me? Otheriwse eyebrows and blinking are working great.

There is no place for the pupils to move - they are confined by the area of the eye shape. Follow the steps in this video for "large pupils" to create a mask for the opening of the eye with a larger eye shape and round pupil behind it: Basic Eye Rigging (Adobe Character Animator Tutorial)
