My character's eyes disappear when I assign a trigger and/or behaviors to them. (I have similar problem with head disappearing fir head turn. That's a problem for another time.)

I have a Photoshop character that I want to have his eyes blink. I was able to do this with Illustrator character. I can see it them in Puppet view but as soon as I switch to Scene they disappear. They appear briefly when I hit the trigger but after the cycle is done they disappear. I noticed they disappear with trigger only and behaviors only alos. Layers are in correct order. Behaviors and trigger settings are same as YouTube video. Same for layers. I even re-imported the character. Any suggestions?

There are several reasons that your images are disappearing. Sometimes they are missing, other times they simply aren't lining up correctly. The most common way for parts to get out of alignment is when the original art gets edited and the edit causes the dimensions of the part to change, causing CH to get wildly out of alignment. Another way is if the parts are accidently hidden in the original. If you would like, you can use the export function to share the puppet here and we can take a look at it.

I've not exported and posted projcts or art on a board. So, far the board has rejected attempts to post my CH project, Photoshop file and a.puppet file. Would mind walking me through this step?

Your PSD seems to work pretty well for me (after placing Mouth Sad and Mouth Happy groups into a trigger swap set together). I assume you're adding Cycle Layers to the animated mouth sets — make sure you check Hold on Last Layer and On Trigger End = Stop immediately. The rigging issues section at the bottom of the Puppet panel will warn you about these types of things if you click on it: 

 


Everything is set up as it should be. I have created a .puppet file and a public file on Dropbox. How do I post it for the community to view?
