  Expression to shy/unshy layers?

  Posted by Vojtěch Palme on February 26, 2013 at 12:25 pm

  Hi.
  Can the shy / unshy tick box be controlled by expressions?
  I have a template for quotations Im using on dayly bases. I want to add an option for quoting more people and for discussions -> that will mean much more text layers for inputing text, that will be used just time to time. I’d like to be able to hide them when they’re not needed.
  (and shy all button is not an answer. Im hiding all the graphics elements too, so only functional layers appear for fast editing)

  Expressions can’t control things like that, they can only affect the value of their host property. In general, if you can’t keyframe it, you can’t control it with an expression.
