Hi, another bad question lol, but Im just wondering… is it possible to have just one layer animate, while the other layers contine doing their normal stuff? My example would be…

Button on button layer, click it and an animation plays, but if I click another button another animation plays, but the 1st animation will keep playing…

Is there an efficient method for this?
