This is a pretty wordy question but here it goes: I want to try and merge two layers(one with effects one without) without the effect effecting the resulted merged layer. I only want the one layer that I put the effect to stay that effect while the other stays normal. Is there any way to do this?
If you want to treat the objects as one, you don't merge them, you wrap them inside a container, i.e. put them inside a graphic symbol, that you can tween on the outside as one object, while on the inside you can have other animation.
In Flash terminology this is called nesting.
To convert your 3 layers to a symbol you can select the layers, right-click and choose 'layers to symbol' or you can create a new symbol and paste your layers or your frames inside.
Nesting and controlling nested timelines via stopping, looping or playing once of graphic symbols is fundamental to the effective use of Flash/Animate.
