Can't get animationUnify commands to work

[scipt_TER]

I can't get the following commands to work using the Script Listener:

animationUnifyPosition
animationUnifyVisibility
animationUnifyEffects

Although the script listener reports the command, i can't get it to work when called through a script. What am I doing wrong??

Here's an example:

var id591 = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );
var desc158 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id592 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref89 = new ActionReference();
var id593 = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var id594 = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var id595 = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref89.putEnumerated( id593, id594, id595 );
desc158.putReference( id592, ref89 );
var id596 = charIDToTypeID( "T " );
var desc159 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id597 = stringIDToTypeID( "animationUnifyPosition" );
desc159.putBoolean( id597, true );
var id598 = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
desc158.putObject( id596, id598, desc159 );
executeAction( id591, desc158, DialogModes.NO );


Also, The following command DOES work, but is there a way I can get the current values of a layer rather than only being able to set them on the active/selected layer? For instance, I want to be able to check whether animationMatchLayerPosition is true or false on a specific layer.
In the same way you can check whether a layer is visible or not with something like layer.visible==true.




=======================================================
var id655 = stringIDToTypeID( "animationMatchLayer" );
var desc174 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id656 = stringIDToTypeID( "animationMatchLayerPosition" );
desc174.putBoolean( id656, true );
var id657 = stringIDToTypeID( "animationMatchLayerVisibility" );
desc174.putBoolean( id657, true );
var id658 = stringIDToTypeID( "animationMatchLayerStyle" );
desc174.putBoolean( id658, true );
executeAction( id655, desc174, DialogModes.NO );

It seems that animation works along the lines of layer comps. At least there are no animation related keys in the layer descriptor. Nor do I see a way to access the animation or timeline class.

So I'm afraid this may be one of the things that you can't script.
