Interface: LayerRootFPInterface

Properties: 

.NumLayers: integer : Read

The number of layers currently in the layer stack on this character.

    

.SelectedLayer: integer : Read|Write

If a layer is currently selected, then this returns its index, or -1 if no layer is soloed.

    

.SoloLayer:integer: Read|Write

If a layer is currently soloed, then this returns its index, or -1 if no layer is soloed.

    

.TrackDisplayMethod: integer : Read|Write

Returns the setting for Track display. This correlates to the setting on the CATParent Rollout.

   

Methods: 

 <integer>AppendLayer <String>name <name>method
