Changing attributes of layers in animations
The unify buttons (Unify Layer Position, Unify Layer Visibility, and Unify Layer Style) in the Layers palette
determine how the changes you make to attributes in the active animation frame apply to the other frames in the
same layer. When a unify button is selected, that attribute is changed in all the frames in the active layer; when that
button is deselected, changes apply to only the active frame.
