since when PS CS2 becomes 12.0...

in any case it seems you don't know just yet how the animation pallete works. its kinda hard to explain since I'm not that good in explaining, but here goes. In pallete window, the 1st frame is of course the 1st thing that will show up. Lets say you want to show something else, you need to make a new frame 1st. After that check the layer you want to show in the next frame. For instance Frame 1 is Layer A, Frame 2 is Layer B. On the 1st frame, hide Layer B so Layer A will be on the 1st frame. Then, make a new frame. Now unhide Layer B, and hide Layer A. Then apply that transition thingy I forgot what its name to make the animation smoother.


Okay that is one bad explanation...
