Applying effects inside effects

I have saved my progress as Aligned faces.ai. In this exercise, we are going to apply dynamic effects inside of dynamic effects in order to replicate these leaves and let me show you what I'm talking about. First of all, what I've got to do is get my White Arrow tool so that I can select these leaves inside of their groups. And I will Alt+Click or Option+Click on the topmost of these two leaves and if you're searching for the leaf inside of the Layers panel, and you've got the group twirled open, the big flake group, then you should find an item that's called small leaf 3, so that happens to be this guy right there. And what's going to happen now? We're going to apply a transform effect in order to fill out the top of this branch and it's going to replicate all over the place. Because even though we are creating a single dynamic effect, the group as a whole is also affected by two applications of Transform. So we are really going to be creating one dynamic effect inside of another…
