// 

// This example illustrates how to create an fcurve and mute it. 

// That means that the FCurve will not evaluate when the time changes.

// 

// Create a new scene

NewScene(null, false);

// Create a null

oNull = Application.GetPrim("Null");

// Get the posx parameter of the null

oPosX = oNull.posx

// Create array of time-value pairs

aKeys = new Array( 30.00, -5.00, 50.00, 5.00 );

// Create an empty FCurve

oFCurve = oPosX.AddFCurve2( null, siStandardFCurve );

// Set the fcurve keys

oFCurve.SetKeys( aKeys );

// Get the current Mute value

bMute = oFCurve.Mute

Application.LogMessage( 'oFCurve.Mute before = ' + bMute , siInfo )

// Set the fc Mute to true

oFCurve.Mute = true

bMute = oFCurve.Mute

Application.LogMessage( 'oFCurve.Mute after = ' + bMute, siInfo )

// Validate that the parameter value does not change when evaluated at different times

Application.LogMessage( 'X Position at frame 0 : ' + oPosX.Value(0.0) );

Application.LogMessage( 'X Position at frame 100 : ' + oPosX.Value(100.0) );

// Produces the following output: 

//

//INFO : oFCurve.Mute before = true

//INFO : oFCurve.Mute after = false

//INFO : X Position at frame 0 : 0

//INFO : X Position at frame 100 : 0

// Because the FCurve was muted, the parameter does not update
