Extendscript syntax for disabling stopwatch on layer property
I cant seem to find the property that will allow disabling the stopwatch or keyframes on a layer property. I found “app.project.item(index).layer(index).propertySpec.isTimeVarying” but it is only read-only.
I am currently working on an extendscript that will supplement clean up of an imported Maya ASCII File.
When a Maya ASCII is imported all properties are keyed on every frame. I would like to disable Time-vary from some of the properties after the file is imported.Thanks

I would use removeKey() iteratively on every keyframe in the property, from the last one to the first.
prop = app.project.item(index).layer(index).propertySpec;
numKeys = prop.numKeys;
for (i=numKeys; i>0; i--) prop.removeKey(i);Walter Soyka

In my case, I was looping through many properties, some have keyframes some don’t.
If there is no keyframe the script tries to perform a for loop from 0 to greater than 0 by substraction.I found it easiest to just add an if condition.
if(property.numKeys != 0){
for (var i = (property.numKeys); i>=0; i--){property.removeKey(i)}
}
