This may help. I used inPoint expressions in this tutorial to auto fade layers in and out. Might be something useful in the code there.

If each layer's animation was driven by it's own keys, I could simply slide layers forward and backward in the timeline, but I can't here, because regardless of their in-point, they're tied to my control layer's time. Is there any way i can add the in-point of my slave layers time to achieve this effect?
